We agreed that the detection of a tsunami alongside a physical structure to break the wave were only part of our solution. We needed a way to warn people, too! We looked at several examples HERE considering various stakeholders we read about HERE.
We discussed the benefits and drawbacks of each system, considering how various stakeholders would respond to receiving such communication. We then worked to update our Tsunami Chain of Events chart, adding in all the details we've figured out about a Tsunami Protection System!
Our next steps! See if all the other natural hazards we identified have similar detection, warning, and physical structures in place! We had so many related phenomena we came up with at the launch of our unit, that it makes sense to figure out how we can help other people who experience different hazards themselves! |
