I think that people have to be educated in their community about tsunamis in order to prevent hazards.

I learned new things about Tsunamis, and relearned things I had forgotten about Tsunamis. I have worked as a planner on the Pacific Coast.

I think this module contained very important information about the threat of tsunamis. This module contained useful information on how to stay safe from a tsunami, as well as what to do when a tsunami event has occurred.
