Before, During, and After Steps
During: Move inland to higher ground immediately, and stay away from the beach. Save yourself- not your possessions. Help handicapped, or old neighbors.
After: Return home after police/ local officials tell you it is safe. A second wave can be larger than the first one. Stay away from debris in the water. Make sure you don't have any injuries, and if you do, get first aid. Call the paramedics if you happen to see someone that needs to be rescued. Stay tuned to the weather radio for the latest updates. Wear protective clothing, and be cautious when cleaning up.
