Introduction The final goal of disaster management public education is warning. Warnings are used primarily to help recipients Understand that their risk situation has changed to one with increased or certain likelihood, and to provide authoritative instruction on the appropriate action to take. Warnings differ from awareness in that they instruct recipients to take immediate Warning systems and messages must be designed to reach the full ange of possible recipients within their communities, no matter where people are or what time it is. Employing multiple systems in partnership with various private and nonprofit entities is often the only way to maximize population coverage. Warnings must inform people of an impending hazard or disaster and must instruct them on what to do before, during, and after the hazard. They may include information on how citizens can get more information, such as from a website, mobile app, radio, or TV station or by calling a phone number Public warnings are more than just messages. Warnings are built upon complex systems designed for the specifics of each hazard, population, and environment. Air and wave warning devices play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in various industries and workplaces. These devices are specifically designed to detect and monitor the levels of air pollutants and harmful gases in the environment, providing early warnings and alerts to prevent potential health risks and accidents. In today's world, where industrial activities and technological advancements are rapidly increasing, the need for effective air and wave warning devices has become more important than ever. These devices serve as a vital line of defense against potential air contamination and the presence of toxic gases, safeguarding the health and lives of workers and the surrounding community Air and wave warning devices are not limited to industrial settings alone. They are also utilized in various other environments where air quality is of utmost importance, such as laboratories, hospitals, research facilities, and even residential areas located near industrial zones. By constantly monitoring the air quality and providing timely warnings, these devices help to mitigate risks, prevent accidents, and protect the health of individuals. Furthermore, air and wave warning devices often come equipped with advanced features and technologies to enhance their effectiveness. These may include data logging capabilities, real-time monitoring systems, connectivity options for remote access, and integration with other safety systems. These additional features enable better analysis of air quality trends, facilitate prompt response to potential threats, and contribute to the overall safety management of the environment ‘Air and wave warning devices are indispensable tools in today's industrial and occupational safety practices. Their ability to detect and monitor air pollutants and toxic gases, coupled with their prompt warning systems, significantly reduce the risks associated with air contamination. By ensuring the safety of workers, residents, and the environment, these devices contribute to a healthier and safer world for everyone. Most waves in the ocean ate generated by wind blowing across the sea surface. As the wind blows over the ocean it pushes parallel to the ocean surface as well as down onto the surface. This causes water to pile up into small waves. As wind continues to blow on these ripples, the height, length, and speed of the wave increases. There is no more energy transfer once the speed of the wave equals the speed of the wind and the wave has reached its max size. Once a wave forms, it can travel long distances, unaided by wind, as such wavy conditions may be observed in a calm and windless area, In this way, the size of waves in an area is not always associated with current wind conditions. The data in this nugget highlight the relationships between wind speed, wave height, and wave period and how these properties vary throughout the year at the OOI Coastal Endurance Array Oregon Offshore Surface Mooring. Though there is a general relationship between wind and waves (e.g. stronger winds are often associated with larger waves), the spread in the data also showcases times where the buoy detected waves that were not generated locally (e.9. times where local winds are weaker but waves are stil relatively large). Looking at the annual cycle, wind and waves are both larger during the stormy winter, and smaller during the calm summer, To the modem Earth scientist, ocean waves are important because they influence the physics of the air-sea interface (see the article by David Richter and Fabrice Veron, Physics Today, November 2016, page 34). The waves transport mass, and that wavesinduced drift alters the dynamics of the upper ocean: It mixes the surface layers of water and modulates their ‘temperatures, a crucial boundary condition between the air and sea in coupled models of Earth's weather and climate. More practically, statistical wave models describe how waves evolve and propagate across the ocean surface in various environmental conditions~such as low and high winds—and quantify how they influence the oceans circulation and the transport of jetsam, flotsam, and pollution on its surface
