Summary of Sri Lanka Findings
in pictures.
The lack of awareness about tsunami behavior increased the impact
of the event. Nature provided a few warning indicators, which
were ignored by everyone. If the public were aware of indicators
such as the disappearance of the sea for few minutes, they could
have identified the danger and many lives could have been saved.
There was nearly 40minute of lag time between the destructive
sea waves. Especially in the case of Sri Lanka there was enough
lag time between the affected zones in eastern coast and western
coast for warnings to be issued. |
