Warning sign So how do you know if a tsunami is coming?
Survival Agent iDevice:Activity -- title:Compact Activity Knowing about tsunami and how they happen is the first stage in Survival Agent training. The next stage is to learn about the signs that will warn you about a tsunami before it happens. You can use these signs, either man-made or natural, to warn your community in case of a tsunami and to make sure that they act quickly enough to avoid disaster.
