PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
1p.Their problem is that they have no way of telling when the tsunami would come and go.
1s. The solution here is that they have created the tsunami alert that will inform them about the tsunami before the tsunami hits but as soon as y he tsunami forms.
2s.Another big solution can be for them to plant more of the coral reefs and protect them because that would help even if the alert don't work they or you have still something that will help and cause less caos and saves more lives.
2p. One problem is that people don't know where to go in the case of a tsunami they also don't know what to bring in the meantime since they don't have enough time to grab everything and go because it comes in quick and hard.
