    This document provides information about tsunamis and being prepared for them. It defines a tsunami as a series of waves caused by displacement of the ocean floor from an earthquake. It notes that natural warnings like ground shaking or unusual ocean behavior mean a tsunami may be coming and to immediately evacuate to higher ground. It advises that if in a tsunami hazard zone, people should learn evacuation routes and shelter areas because while the first wave may take hours to arrive, more waves could come over subsequent hours. The key message is that tsunamis are dangerous, natural warnings should be heeded, and one should evacuate to safety according to their hazard plan.
