The consequences section includes photos showing survivors seeking aid and mourning lost family members.
Tsunamis are powerful waves that can reach over 100 feet tall and travel at speeds over 60 mph. They have the force to lift vehicles and demolish buildings, maintaining their energy as they cross entire cities. Hawaii faces the greatest risk from tsunamis in the United States, experiencing around one per year on average, and the waves can sound like a freight train as they approach land.
Tsunamis are caused by large displacements of water, usually in oceans, that can be triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides or meteorite impacts. While tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths and periods in deep ocean waters, they can travel very fast at over 600 mph. When they reach shallow coastal waters, their energy causes the sea level to rise dramatically and flood inland areas. Proper planning, awareness of warning signs and evacuation routes can help minimize damage and save lives during a tsunami.

The overarching message is that preparation is key to handling disasters effectively and turning what could be a disaster into more of an adventure.
During heat waves, it is important to check on at-risk individuals and ensure they are staying hydrated, keeping cool, and have support if needed. Signs of heat-related illnesses like dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke should be watched for, and first aid provided which may include cooling the person, giving fluids, and calling for emergency help. Fires are a risk during heat waves due to high temperatures and low humidity, and precautions should be taken. Drowning is also a hazard as more people spend time in water to cool off. Power cuts may occur due to infrastructure issues, so people should be prepared with emergency supplies.
This document provides guidance on preparing for and responding to heat waves. It discusses identifying those at risk and checking on elderly community members. It recommends having an emergency plan and kit in case of power outages. Tips are provided on keeping homes cool and hydrated, with specific guidance for caring for children and those with medical conditions. Responders are advised to gradually acclimate to heat, drink plenty of water, and take breaks when working during heat waves. The overall message is to check on vulnerable groups, prepare homes and emergency supplies, and follow safety precautions to prevent heat-related illness.
Heat waves are periods of abnormally hot weather that can pose health risks. They are characterized by temperatures above the 90th percentile for at least two days. Global warming is increasing the frequency and severity of heat waves. During a heat wave, people are at risk of heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat waves can also negatively impact infrastructure, agriculture, wildlife and reduce worker productivity. Preparation and mitigation strategies are needed to address the public health and economic challenges posed by increasing heat waves.
The document provides information on how to prepare and stay safe during heat waves. It discusses how to get weather information from national meteorological services and websites. Those most vulnerable to heat waves are babies, children, elderly people, pregnant women, and those with medical conditions. The document recommends listening to weather forecasts, checking on vulnerable neighbors, staying hydrated and keeping cool. It also provides tips on what to do during power outages.
Heat waves are extended periods of unusually hot weather that can negatively impact human and animal health. Signs of a heat wave include unseasonably warm temperatures that are at least 9 degrees Celsius higher than average for that time of year, high humidity, and durations of multiple days. Heat waves are especially dangerous for elderly people, young children, and those with preexisting health conditions as their bodies have a harder time regulating temperature. Prolonged exposure can lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
This document provides information on preparing for wildfires. It discusses why preparation is important, how to get information on ongoing wildfires from websites like meteoalarm.eu and national meteorological services, and steps to take to prepare like making an emergency plan and pack. The emergency plan should include who to contact, how to turn off utilities, practicing escape routes from home, and checking insurance. Being prepared is key to staying safe during a wildfire.
This document provides information about wildfires, including what they are, their causes, areas at risk, signs of wildfires, and their impacts. A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns vegetation and can spread rapidly. Factors like fuel, topography, and weather determine how likely an area is to experience wildfires and how quickly fires may spread. Signs of wildfires include large columns of smoke, fleeing animals, and the smell of burning. Wildfires can significantly impact lives, property, infrastructure, and the environment through destruction and damage.
This document provides information on responding to wildfires. It discusses who will help during a wildfire emergency, including fire services, civil protection organizations, and sometimes the army or volunteers. It also discusses the roles of aerial firefighting units. It emphasizes the importance of calling emergency services if a fire is spotted and provides guidance on safely evacuating a fire area by walking away from flames and smoke.
This document provides information on how to prepare for wildfires, including how to find information about ongoing wildfires. It recommends creating a home emergency plan that includes contact details, meeting points, items to evacuate, insurance information, and escape routes. Information sources mentioned include the website meteoalarm.eu, national meteorological services, radio, television, emergency websites and social media.
This document provides an overview of wildfires as part of an e-learning module on natural disaster prevention, preparedness and response. It defines wildfires and explains the fire triangle of oxygen, heat and fuel required for combustion. While wildfires can occur naturally, human activities are responsible for over 95% of wildfires through negligent acts like improperly extinguished campfires or intentional acts like arson. Areas at higher risk of wildfires have structural factors like flammable vegetation and topography, as well as atmospheric conditions influenced by weather like temperature, humidity and wind that can cause fires to ignite and spread more easily. The document stresses the importance of prevention through understanding risks and causes.
This document provides guidance on responding to floods. It discusses preparing for flood warnings by covering doors and clearing drains. During a flood, authorities will coordinate emergency responses, evacuate areas, and close roads if needed. Emergency services will try to divert or pump floodwater, rescue people, provide shelter, and keep people informed. The document emphasizes calling emergency services by dialing 999 if there is an emergency, clearly explaining the location and situation, and following operators' instructions.
This document provides information on preparing for floods. It discusses finding information about flood risks from meteorological services and emergency alerts. Specific steps for preparation are outlined, including being aware of local risks, learning from past flood events in the area, and using a four-step model of identifying risks, assessing risks, assessing needed preparations, and making a plan. The importance of starting preparations when warnings are issued is also highlighted.
