The Threat: Tsunamis and flooding
Storm-related flooding and earthquake-induced tsunamis pose the threat of loss of property and loss of life to people living in low lying and coastal areas around the globe.
The Preps
Precautions against flooding are diverse. Planning ahead can begin by choosing a place to live that is higher and dryer than the surrounding area. Flood insurance may help cover your property losses, but the only reasonable way to safeguard your life is to keep one eye on the weather, and one ear to the radio for emergency broadcasts about storms, flooding, and tsunamis in your area.
The Odds
Earthquakes and storms cause flooding each year. The worst of the 2012 floods occurred in southwestern Russia in early July. It claimed 144 lives and the homes of nearly 13,000 people were damaged or destroyed in that flood. Your odds will be based on where you live.
