THE MONSTER THAT SWALLOWS ALL

6 APRIL 2008

OKAY THIS SUCKS I TYPED A LONG POST AND POOF BLOGGER WAS DOWN COOL EH. FINE HERE GOES,

Warning signs of TSUNAMI

1. If you are at the beach or near the ocean and feel the earth shake, run immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for a tsunami warning to be given.

2. The sudden draw down of the sea level resulting in a receding shoreline, sometimes by a kilometre or more, is a sign of a preceding or in-between crest of tsunami waves. Head for high ground as quickly as possible.

3. Do not approach the beach to investigate.

4. If you are advised to evacuate, do so immediately.

BUT, dont worry, we wont be affected cause

Singapore is sheltered from tsunamis by the surrounding land masses, such as Peninsula Malaysia in the north, the Indonesian Archipelago in the west and south, and Borneo in the east. The risk of Singapore being affected directly by a tsunami would therefore be very low. Notwithstanding this, Singapore has since the mid-90s established a seismic monitoring system. The system managed by the Meteorological Services Division monitors tremor activity.

yup so we are kind of safe from it :)

this only applies if you're not in singapore,


What You Should Do if You are Caught in a Tsunami

1. Move quickly to higher ground

Homes and buildings located in low lying coastal areas are not safe.
Do not stay in such buildings if there is a tsunami warning.
Move quickly to higher ground.

2. Seek shelter in reinforced buildings

The upper floors of high multi-storey, reinforced concrete buildings can provide refuge if there is no time to quickly move inland or to higher ground.

3. Move out to deeper waters

If you are on a boat or ship and there is time, move your vessel out to deeper waters.
If there is severe weather, it may be safer to leave the boat at the pier and move to higher ground.

4. Wait for the "ALL CLEAR" signal

Stay away from the area until it is safe.
Do not be fooled into thinking that the danger is over after a single wave– a tsunami is NOT a single wave but a series of waves that can vary in size.

HAHAHA LOOK I TYPED TSUNAMI AND THEY GAVE ME THIS PICTURE AHAHHA!
