Tsunamis are infrequent but terrifying hazards for coastal communities. Difficult to predict, they can materialize with little warning, claiming thousands of lives and racking up billions of dollars in damage. Now, a ground-breaking approach to tsunami detection and warning is giving at-risk coastal communities an economically viable, scientifically sound means to protect themselves. Written and edited by an international team of disaster preparation experts, Hazardous Seas introduces game-changing, state-of-the-art technologies-including low-cost underwater sensors and networks of smartphone communication-to detect and convey real-time tsunami danger to communities at risk.
