Rules of behaviour during tsunami. Councils of the expert
Tourists can avoid tsunami consequences at observance of simple measures of care. Such opinion was stated in interview to the Greek state TV by the expert in earthquakes, the director of the Athenian institute of geodynamics of Gerasimos Papadopulos.
“First of all, if you are in coastal zone and have felt tremor, it is necessary as soon as possible, within 15-20 minutes to leave from coast. Some hours” are desirable to remain on considerable distance from the sea, – the expert advises.
“If you haven't felt tremor, it is possible to guess approach of high tidal wave on time decrease in water level – the sea as though recedes back that then with force to fall upon coast”, – Papadopulos has told.
“While the tsunami is far, it doesn't look awful. Close, on the contrary, shocks in the sizes. While wave far, it is not necessary to lose time and to remove it on the chamber. When the tsunami has come nearer, it is not necessary to panic, and to try to escape as soon as possible deep into coast”, – the expert advises.
In its opinion, observance of these safety measures doesn't guarantee absence of victims. However many of victims had time to avoid tsunami and haven't made it because haven't understood the sizes of danger. Otherwise victims would be much less, the expert believes.
