• Tsunami is one of the world's worst natural disasters that
can hit a country. Tsunami mean "harbor wave“; also known
as a seismic sea wave. Tsunami is the devastating impact of
seismic sea waves & this series of water waves caused by the
displacement of a large volume of a body of water, generally
an ocean.

What is • This large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on

the ocean floor. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other
underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater
Tsunami nuclear devices), landslides, glacier calving, meteorite
impacts and other disturbances above or below water all
have the potential to generate a tsunami.
• Tsunamis cause damage by two mechanisms: the smashing
force of a wall of water travelling at high speed, and the
destructive power of a large volume of water draining off
the land and carrying a large amount of debris with it.
EFFECTS OF TSUNAMI
• Hitting the shoreline.
• Loss of human and animal life; increasing instant
death, injury, illness
• Millions of dollars in financial loss.
• Psychological effects.
• Loss of livelihood.
• A permanent change to the landscape
• Devastating property damage.
• contamination of soil and water.
• Severe flooding causes to damages drain systems.
Detecting a tsunami
• Pressure recorder on bottom of ocean
• Buoy to communicate readings via satellite
• Tsunami Warning Centers issue warning
Tsunami nears shore

• As wave gets into shallow

water bottom of wave
drags along ocean floor
• Top of wave still moving
fast: can cause cresting of
wave, and breaking onto
shore
• Prevention is defined as those activities taken to prevent a
natural phenomenon or identify potential hazard from
having harmful effects on either people or economic assets.
• A tsunami cannot be prevented or precisely predicted but
can be reduced through community preparedness.
Disaster • Early Warning Systems .
• hazard identification (identifying the actual threats facing a
prevention community)
• vulnerability assessment (evaluating the risk and capacity of
a community to handle the consequences of the disaster).
• Grows mangrove in coastal region.
• Identify the area which is tsunami risks zone.
• Creating a map such as social mapping, resource
mapping, vulnerability mapping, safe &
opportunity mapping.
• Building stock assessment.
• Awareness combine.
• Training
• Establish the social service department.
• Maintaining and operating early warning towers
and other early warning dissemination
equipment’s.
• Distribution of early warning messages and ensure
the reception at remote vulnerable villagers.
• Mitigation activities actually eliminate or reduce the probability of
disaster occurrence, or reduce the effects of unavoidable disasters.
• measures include building codes
• vulnerability analyses updates.
Mitigation • Emergency plan in place and practiced
• zoning and land use management
• building use regulations and safety codes; preventive health care;
and public education.
• Hazard mapping to identify the
tsunami area
• Education of government officials
and public
• Rehearsal of the early warning
system
• Arial photographs to illustrate
differences between before tsunami
and after.
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

• These activities are

designed to minimize loss
of life and damage.
preparedness is the very
important vital role in
disaster management
cycle.
If there is a noticeable decline in the
water, away from the shoreline, this is
considered “nature’s tsunami
warning” and you should move away
immediately. building early warning
systems. Emergency communications
systems. Be aware of tsunami warning
signs. Planning how to respond Ex;
preparedness plans, warning systems
• Help to removing people and
property from a threatened location
and by facilitating timely and
effective rescue, relief and
rehabilitation.
• Consider taking a first aid course and
learn survival skills.
• Tune to a radio station that serves
our area and listen for instructions
from emergency officials.
• Stay away from the beach – do not
go down to watch a tsunami come -
Move away from the shoreline and
to higher ground.
• reserves of food, equipment, water,
medicines and other essentials are
maintained in cases of national or
local disasters.
• Help to Identify any vulnerability and
potential dangers & repair it.
• Learn how to turn off the gas and
electricity or any other electrical
equipment in your house.
• strengthening the existing weak structures.
• preparation of the disaster management
plans at household and community level.
• Raise awareness programs: teach and
training to survival techniques in the water
through their swimming and boating
courses.
• Put Seminars , workshop, issue handbills,
competition such as art, poem, essay
writing etc…
• Help to make map like Social mapping.
• Vulnerability mapping.
• Hazard mapping .
• Resource mapping. Advice to don't store important
documents in the basement. Keep them at a higher level or
protected area or safer place.
• Developing long-term and short-term strategies& public
education.
• Help to prepared to survive on our own for at least three
days. To do this, you should prepare an emergency kit for
your home and car, along with a movable one.
• Common preparedness
measures include:
• The Communication plans with
easily understood terminology
and chain of command.
• Development and practice of
multi-agency coordination and
incident command.
• Proper maintenance and
training of emergency services.
• Development and exercise of
emergency population warning
methods combined with
emergency shelters and
evacuation plans.
• where building codes exist
consider enhancing standards to
improve survivability
During the tsunami
• These include initiatives taken to ensure that the needs
Activities taken under emergency response activities.
• Move inland to higher ground immediately and stay there.
• Search and rescue people.
• Act immediately to give the evacuate rout to safe area.
• Stay out of the building if water remains around it – tsunami
waters can cause buildings to sink and collapse.

RESPONSE AND RECOVERY IN INDIA
In the Indian government, natural disasters are handled by the Union Ministry of Home
Affairs.

The Indian Tri-Services Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy were pressed
into service to provide emergency support. The Ministry of Home Affairs coordinated
the responsibilities, the mobilization and dispatch of resources, and the logistics.

The governments of the affected states and the administrations of the affected UTs
delivered the relief material to the earthquake-affected areas with assistance from
railways and helicopter services MHA 2005.
• The immediate relief was facilitated by
the Government of India through the
release of grants from the National
Calamity Contingency Fund, which
contributed Rs. 700 crores US $156
million to the affected states and UTs.
• The state grants consisted of Rs. 250
crores to Tamil Nadu and Rs. 100 crores
each to Andhra Pradesh and Kerala
There were 231 relief camps in Kerala, housing 171,491 people;

65 camps in Andhra Pradesh, housing 34,264 people;

48 camps in Pondicherry, housing 45,000 people;

412 camps in Tamil Nadu, housing 309,379 people; and 125 camps
in the A&N islands, housing 44,201 people
ROLE OF THE ARMED FORCES

The immediate tasks for a)rescuing stranded B)creating temporary

the armed forces were persons. shelter and relief camps;

E) restoring basic lifeline

D) ensuring adequate
C)disposing of dead infrastructure e.g.,
supplies of food, water,
bodies; electrical power, water,
and medicine;
and communications; and

F) ensuring the safety of

the tribal population in the
A&N islands.
Recovery
• The long-term outcome of a disaster, when restoration
efforts are in addition to regular services. Returning the
community to normal.
• Allocate the temporary houses. Claims processing and
grants.
• Long-term medical care and counseling. Rebuilding
society .
• Livelihood, Social security, Help to increasing
infrastructure.
• health care and rehabilitation. These should blend with
development activities, such as building human
resources for health and developing policies and
practices to avoid similar situations in future.
Indian Tsunami Early Warning
Centre
Ministry of Earth Science
• The Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC)
established at Indian National Centre for Ocean
Information Sciences, (INCOIS - ESSO) Hyderabad,
autonomous body under Ministry of Earth Sciences,
is being upgraded continuously to provide tsunami
advisories for the events occurring in the global
oceans, though it has been recognized as one of the
best systems in the world.
Unless there is an underwater
landslide,WILL NOT cause tsunami

Lessons Learned a Decade after the
Indian Ocean Tsunami

• Ten years ago today, the Indian Ocean

tsunami roared across more than 3,000
miles and a dozen countries from
Southeast Asia to Africa, killing 200,000
people and leaving 40,000 missing. I
remember watching the news from my
parents’ kitchen, in the aftermath of
Christmas, as hour by hour the
enormity of the disaster registered on
the world.
So what have we learned since 2005, after
the Indian Ocean tsunami
• Early Warning Leads to Early Action
• Effective Civil-Military Cooperation is Essential
• Focus on Jumpstarting Economies
• Give Cash, not Goods
• Disasters Can Spur Conflict Resolution
• Build Resilience
