Tsunami Warning System Trends in 2006

After the Christmas of 2004 Sumatra Earthquake, which triggered the Indonesia Tsunami killing over 100,000 people it was determined by scientists and observers that if they had a better warning system that many of those people would not have died at all.

Former Presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and President William Jefferson Clinton while doing their fundraising promised to make that early warning system a reality. This pledge was further reiterated by our current President George Walker Bush, who under the guidance of his scientific team determined that the United States also needed a better warning systems in some part of our nation, although many places already had such installed.

Tsunami Warning Systems will now be installed throughout out our coastlines to protect all those living near the ocean. Many poorer nations do not have such systems yet desperately need them. Many places in South America, Africa and Central America are completely without Tsunami Warning Systems currently.

The oceans on our planet are scattered with Subduction Zones similar to the one, which triggered the Tsunami in Indonesia. We will see a trend in Tsunami Warning Systems technologies being set up throughout the world and this trend will continue in 2006 and beyond. Think on this.

Tsunami Warning Signs

Awareness of Tsunami Warning Signs is vital when travelling through or living in tsunami prone areas. An earthquake is a natural tsunami warning. If you feel a strong quake, do not stay in a place where you may be exposed to a tsunami. Listen to the radio or television for any information or alerts. If you are subscribed to TsunamiSMS make sure your mobile phone is always switched on and that the ring tone is loud enough to hear, even when you are asleep. If you have not yet taken the precaution to subscribe to TsunamiSMS, click here.

Witnesses have reported that an approaching tsunami is sometimes preceded by a noticeable fall or rise in the water level. If you see the ocean receding unusually rapidly or far it's a sign that a big wave may be on its way. Go to high ground immediately or make your way at least five kilometers inland.

Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves and that the first wave may not be the most dangerous. The danger from a tsunami can last for several hours after the arrival of the first wave. A tsunami wave train may come as a series of surges that are five minutes to an hour apart. The cycle may be marked by a repeated retreat and advance of the ocean. Stay out of danger until you hear it is safe.

A tsunami surge may be small at one point of the shore and large at another point a short distance away. Do not assume that because there is minimal sign of a tsunami in one place it will be like that everywhere else.

Stay away from rivers and streams that lead to the ocean.

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.

You need to prepare yourself and your loved ones for the worst, so visit The 2012 Official Countdown [http://www.2012officialcountdown.net]. It's filled with information on how to become exceptionally prepared for anything that mother nature could throw at us.

How much do you value your safety? I know it's on my top 10 list, that's for sure.

Major Earthquake Warning Globally - Japan 8.9 Quake - Beware The Pacific Ring of Fire

Why are all these major Earthquakes Happening you ask? Well there is a lot of speculation after the two recent huge Earthquakes in New Zealand literally leveling half the city of Christ Church and sounding suburbs. And then a massive Earthquake hit off the North East coast of Japan. The news of the quake went world-wide online in minutes, as the Tsunami Warning Alarms went off.

In fact, here in Los Angeles CA, we know all too well how deadly such an Earthquake can be, and this one in Tokyo was no little rumble - it was nearly a 9.0 - so it was massive. ABC Channel 7 in Los Angeles sent out a Breaking News Alert at 10:30 PM on Thursday, March 10, 2011, which would be mid-day Japan Friday. The news alert put it like this:

"An 8.9-magnitude earthquake has struck off the northeastern coast of Japan. Japanese television is showing major tsunami damage of cars, trucks, houses, and buildings being swept away in the northern part of country. Japan's meteorological agency warned that a tsunami as high as 20 feet could strike the coast near Miyagi prefecture."

Later there was more information coming out from the Pacific Warning Center for Tsunamis, from the Hawaiian center sending out warnings to many other nations; Tsunami warning was in effect for Japan, Russia, Marcus Island and the Northern Marianas. A tsunami watch has been issued for Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the U.S. state of Hawaii.

Now then, I do not wish to alarm anyone but the magnetic North Pole has been moving at about 40 miles per year, and some scientists are beginning to talk telling the world that it isn't Global Warming melting the ice near the pole, it's being caused by the magnetic pole shift causing changes in weather patterns, and also re-distribution of weight, meaning there will be shifts on the major continental plates, and major Earthquake faults, especially on the Pacific Rim of Fire.

Is this what is causing these giant Earthquakes? Well, no one can prove it, and for every scientist that says they are, there are 10 who disagree and demand more empirical evidence and proof. Is this part of the 2012 Apocalypse Theory, well, it does not appear to be, but you can bet folks who are superstitious, or conspiracy theorists will be calling it that, "the end of days" for instance. Right now everyone is told to remain calm and consider your humanity, as we all work together to maintain order. Please consider all this.

Indonesia Tsunami Warning System - What is Being Done?

Nobody in the present period will forget the 200,000 victims of the Indonesia Tsunami, which was caused by the Sumatra Earthquake on Christmas Eve. But what is being done in the region now while it is still seismic active with major Volcanoes and Earthquakes? The Pacific Rim of Fire needs warning system throughout, along with the Indian Ocean, there too is seismic activity in the Caribbean as well, thus, we should be considering systems here too.

Indeed, there are some good things that are being done right now to save lives so another 200,000 people do not perish next time there is a Tsunami or a large Earthquake, which triggers one. As the Japanese, Americans and several other nations are installing Tsunami Warning systems around the globe, time is important too, the more systems that are in place, the safer human civilizations close to the water can be and there are problems now with Volcanoes and some people will not evacuate as they believe that the Volcano represents a safe passage to the final journey in life? And Volcanoes are an environmental nightmare for humans and nature. Although some could say it is merely the cleansing of the Earth so it can start a new and part of the cycle?

There have been over the last two-years hundreds of large 4 plus Earthquakes and many over 6 and 7 also. The region is very seismically active and these Tsunami Alarms will help warn people of any impending Tsunami Wave to allow people lead time to evacuate the area near the ocean. Consider this in 2006.
