The 2009 Tsunami Warning For Hawaii and California - Get Prepared Now

The recent 8.0 magnitude earthquake in Samoa caused a Tsunami to hit several Pacific Islands, killing over one hundred people.  Certainly a lower death toll than the Tsunami a few years back in December, but any loss is never a good thing.  An official reported that warnings were given out so people could retreat to higher ground, which most people did.  However, not everyone made it, resulting in the death toll we have been reading about.

What if one of these tsunamis hit the United States coastal cities, such as Southern California?  It definitely would leave a mark, that is for sure.  Since most of the coastal cities are barely above sea level, it would not be hard at all for a tsunami to devastate several of these coastal establishments.  Unfortunately, a tsunami is due for the Pacific coast.  The best we can do is prepare for the worst to minimize the results.

Maybe a tsunami will not hit us, but the "big one" (the nickname for the inevitable massive earthquake likely to hit Southern California) will cause massive amounts of damage and casualties.  Once again, all we can do is prepare for it, because we currently cannot predict when earthquakes will occur.

Many people have been following a recent trend in the past few years that is growing exponentially in popularity.  This is the 'preparedness' trend.  It started with the September 11th attacks, when citizens prepared for possible chemical warfare.  Now Californians are preparing for the big earthquake, the southern United States is preparing for increasingly intense hurricanes, and everyone else in between is preparing for a mix of things related to the possible and predicted "end of the world" in December of 2012.  The Mayans have predicted that this 'apocalypse' will consist of hundreds of different natural disasters all at once resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.

There really is not a better time to start getting prepared for the worst.  The earlier the better as they say.
