Tsunami Risk Warning Systems in the USA Have One Fatal Flaw
The U.S. has sophisticated warning systems for these disasters, but they have one critical weakness: they work far better when the threat comes from far away than when it’s local. A tsunami from Japan gives you hours to evacuate, but one from a nearby earthquake gives you maybe 15 to 20 minutes. That’s barely enough time to grab your family and run to higher ground. Sirens might never sound. Cell towers could already be down. Your best warning system becomes your own eyes, instincts, and immediate action.
