Disasters: Tsunamis

2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami

One of the deadliest tsunamis in recorded history occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004.

The 26 December 2004 tsunami was the most deadly tsunami and one of the greatest disasters in historical times. Some 280,000 people were killed in South Asia and East Africa. Sumatra Indonesian island was the most affected area with about 178,000 dead. It sparked unparalleled media-related impact and humanitarian aid.*
2011 Japan Tsunami

In order to understand the magnitude of the Japan tsunami, view the brief video clip containing dramatic footage of the waves in action. Caught on Tape: Tsunami hits Japan port town. Retrieved from https://archive.org/details/youtube-SCn6H3JKY4M CBSNEWS

Less than an hour after the earthquake, the first of many tsunami waves hit Japan’s coastline. The tsunami waves reached run-up heights (how far the wave surges inland above sea level) of up to 128 feet (39 meters) at Miyako city and traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) in Sendai. The tsunami flooded an estimated area of approximately 217 square miles (561 square kilometers) in Japan.**
