TSUNAMI MANAGEMENT PLAN
WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
According to PHIVOLCS, (2022)…
 A Tsunami is a series of sea waves commonly
generated by under-the-sea earthquakes and whose
heights could be greater than 5 meters.
 Tsunamis can occur when the earthquake is shallow-
seated and strong enough to displace parts of the
seabed and disturb the mass of water over it.
 It is erroneously called tidal waves and sometimes
mistakenly associated with storm surges.
CAUSES OF TSUNAMI
Earthquakes caused by underwater
tectonic movement
Landslides
Underwater Explosion
Volcanic Activities
Asteroid/Comet/Meteorite Impacts
EFFECTS OF TSUNAMI
Loss of life
Destruction or Damage to Property
Loss of Livelihood
Displaced Population
Disruption of Water and Food Supplies
Psychological Trauma
Examples of Tsunami Events in Asia
Indian Ocean Coastline - December
26, 2004 (227,898 died)
Japan - March 11, 2011 (15,950 died)
Western Mindanao, Philippines – August

 EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF A
TSUNAMI
SHAKE
Felt earthquakes or rapid shaking of the ground near
the shoreline.
DROP
Rapid recession of water below expected low tide
levels.
ROAR
Produces an Unusual Sound which can be heard from
Illustrations above shows areas (marked in red) prone to Tsunamis in the Philippines
 How to Mitigate Tsunami
Tsunamis generally cannot be prevented, however
the effects of this disaster can be mitigated through
the following:
Improve Evacuation Routes
Building Tsunami Evacuation Centers
Limiting new developments in tsunami hazard prone areas
Designing, siting, & building structures to minimize tsunami
WHAT TO DO BEFORE,
DURING, AND AFTER
A TSUNAMI
Before a Tsunami:
Learn the signs of a potential tsunami, such as
earthquakes, a loud roaring sound from the ocean or
unusual ocean behavior, such as a sudden rise or wall of
water or sudden draining of water showing the ocean floor.
Know and practice community evacuation plans. Some
at risk communities have maps with evacuation zones and
routes.
Before a Tsunami:
Create a family emergency communication plan that has an
out-of-state contact. Plan where to meet if you get separated.
Sign up for your community’s warning system.
Consider earthquake insurance and a flood insurance policy.
 During a Tsunami:
Warn others if there is a rapid change in the oceans
water levels.
Do not go near the shore to watch a tsunami hit.
Monitor the tsunami’s progress and listen for
warnings or instructions from local officials.
 During a Tsunami:
If you are safe when the first tsunami hits, stay put until
authorities declare all is safe.
Should a tsunami occur and you cannot get to a higher
grounds, stay inside where you are protected from the
water. It’s best t be on the landward side of the house,
away from windows.
 After Tsunami:
Listen to local alerts and authorities for information on
areas to avoid and shelter locations.
Save phone calls for emergencies. Phone systems often
are down or busy after a disaster. Use text messages or
social media to communicate with family and friends.
Avoid wading in floodwater, which can contain dangerous
debris. Water may be deeper than it appears.
After Tsunami:
Beware of the risk of electrocution. Underground or
drowned power lines can electrically charge water.
Stay away from damaged building, roads and bridges.
If you become injured or sick and need medical attention,
contact your healthcare provider and shelter in place, if
possible.
After Tsunami:
Document property damage with photographs.
Conduct an inventory and contact your insurance
company for assistance.
