A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-mee or tsoo-nah-mee) is natural phenomenon consisting of a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruption and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating.
Word Tsunami is derived from Japanese word which means wave. In Japanese, tsu means island and nami means waves.

Some important facts about Tsunami:
Often a tsunami is incorrectly referred to as a tidal wave. The magnitude of the disturbance causing the tsunami is the primary factor influencing the size and strength of the waves. Depending on the depth of the water in which the tsunami is traveling, it may attain speeds of up to 500 miles an hour. The image most people have of a tsunami is a large, steep wave breaking on the shore. This image is hardly, if ever, the case. Another rare event that may result from a tsunami is a standing wave or seiche. The maximum horizontal distance that is reached by a tsunami is referred to as inundation. Whether a tsunami is generated in the North or South Pacific, it has the potential to effect all shores of the Hawaiian Islands. When a tsunami is generated offshore the wave will behave as a shallow water wave.

Some Questions for Indians and Their Answers
How did Tsunami occur in India recently?
The Tsunami of December 26, 2004 or the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake, was an undersea earth quake which caused the Tsunami on December 26, 2004. The most effect coasts in India were of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
That day the earthquake occurred at the scale of 9.15. It took place in Indian Ocean near Simeulue island, near Sumatra in Indonesia. It hit South India, Srilanka, Maldives, Thailand and even coasts of Africa.
What precautions should be taken after Tsunami?
First of all there should be early warning system which should warn the people on coastal lines. The coastal habitation is more liable to bear the brunt of Tsunami. The government of India has now placed an order for early warning system which is called DART. The government should also join the countries of Pacific rim who have already placed such warning system and collect data for such occurrences.
The fishermen should not go for fishing as there is possibility that Tsunami can reoccur after the earth quake.
The people should not converge on the effect sites because it could hamper the rescue work.
The people who are desirous to help they should coordinate their efforts with the government organisations and NGOs which can provide more help to the people.
The people should not disturb the ecology of their region and try to preserve it.
The paramilitary forces should be trained for such calamities. They could be then used for other natural calamities like floods from which India continue to suffer.
People should be given understanding of learning from satellite datas about the impending dangers. The communication links like mobile phones, short band radios and wireless system should be kept in ready condition and maintained during the crises.
The Indian government has already thought of sensitizing the people at school level. It was found that only one education board on High level schooling that ICSE had information on Tsunami. Most of Christian Missionaries schools are affiliated to this board. Most of the schools are affiliated to CBSE.
Q. What one should do during the Tsunami?
Ans: Some suggestions are as follows:
The effected people should be immediately evacuated.
The effect people should be given medical assistance.
The people especially the children who have suffered the brunt of the Tsunami should be taken to rehabilitation centers. They should also be given moral support and psychiatrists help and counseling.
The government should depute paramilitary forces to help, as they are more disciplined forces.
Immediate steps should be taken to check the spread of epidemic.
One group, especially the fishermen, who live on coasts, should be provided assistance to survive the period of calamity. They should then also given monetary help afterwards to restart their work again. They need new boats and nets which get destroyed in such a calamity.
