When there is a good chance that your area will be affected by a tsunami, your local authorities will likely issue a warning to alert residents. They'll also tell you if you have to evacuate based on where your home or school is located. It's important to follow those instructions carefully and as quickly as possible. Because you've practiced your evacuation route with your family, you should know exactly where to go and how to get there.  Official tsunami warnings and evacuation orders are usually shared via TV or radio news. You can also find information on the internet. If you're away from home at the beach or other low-lying areas when a tsunami warning is issued, move inland immediately. If possible, run uphill so you reach higher ground where the waves can't reach you. Don't ever stay to watch a tsunami. If you're close enough to see a wave, you're probably close to run away from it. If you can't escape to higher ground quickly enough, the best option is to climb to the roof of a tall, sturdy building or a tree. Trees can be uprooted during a tsunami, though, so be sure to choose one that is large and strong. When you're evacuating, you must make sure that you've accounted for all of the family members who live with you, including your parents, siblings, and grandparents. However, make sure that you find all of your pets as well. If a situation is dangerous for you, it's dangerous for your animals—and they usually don't have the means to protect themselves. To avoid losing your pets during an evacuation or tsunami situation, keep animals on leashes or in carriers. Even if your home is in an area that's not vulnerable to the tsunami, make sure to watch them so they don't wander off. If you live in a coastal area, you may actually feel the earthquakes that cause the waves. It's extremely easy to get injured in an earthquake, so if you feel the ground shaking for more than 20 seconds, drop to the ground and take cover under a desk or table, making sure to hold on tightly. As soon as the shaking stops, round up your family and evacuate as quickly as possible. The earthquake is usually a sign that a tsunami is only a few minutes away. A tsunami can cause destruction to buildings, power lines, and other items. Make sure to avoid buildings from which heavy objects might fall or large trees that may be uprooted or lose branches. Don't go near downed power lines either because they may be live and you could electrocute yourself. Bridges can become unstable during the earthquakes that accompany tsunamis, so take care if you need to cross any when you're evacuating.
