Tsunami warning!

This children’s booklet with cartoon-like illustrations describes what happens when an Alaskan earthquake causes a tsunami warning and evacuations to be issued in Alaska and in Hawaii. The International Coordinating Group for the Tsunami Warning System in the Pacific of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, at its Thirteenth Session in Ensenada, Mexico (September 1991), encouraged the preparation of a book designed to inform young persons about tsunamis, the dangers which they present, and what should be done to save lives and property.
