Tsunamis


  • The Bahamas doesn't really experience tsunamis but in other regions close to the Bahamas begin to run and never looked back.It may take minutes or hours for tsunami waves to impact the coasts of The Bahamas following an earthquake in the region or far out on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. 

     It is suggested that if one feels the ground shaking it increases, the should get off of the area. it also mentioned that they should be more careful when going inside the house, the officials says they will be okay to enter once everything is cleared. Lastly, distance source tsunami events, the Meteorology Department and NEMA will inform citizens and visitors to evacuate by making an announcement on all local radio and cable broadcasts. There are also shelters available for those who will need them.

    Great that they have an organization like NEMA to help (our FEMA I guess). Interestingly enough, last year a test put people into panic mode as they thought there was a real tsunami coming....!!
