Maybe start by using your head, and know where the highest ground near you may be…then head there first. And don’t forget the kids.

“Residents and local agencies should however, note the relevant information contained within the exercise warnings and take the opportunity to think about their state of readiness and actions, should such an actual event occur, as this exercise offers the opportunity to exercise their communications procedures.

No suggestions on what we should do??? Getting warnings out there is great but what does one do on a tiny island? Run for a high point/boat or is there an underground tunnel…just saying…

Asking because I’m seeing news about North Korea and their ability to hit the US with a nuke is becoming a real possibility. Wouldn’t that create a tsunami here? So just in case, I would like to be prepared.

“As such, residents should not be alarmed to note the Exercise Watches & Warnings posted via the Bermuda Weather Channel on CableVision and WOW, the weather telephone recordings [977, 9771, 9772, and 9773], http://www.weather.bm, BWS Facebook page or broadcast via VHF Radio [via Bermuda Radio].”

So in case it really happens, how will those of us who don’t pay attention to anything in the above list know about it? Why wasn’t text messages used as well? Just food for thought, because if people are not used to the warnings, how will we know what to do in the event of one?

A tsunami caused by an asteroid, would be over 700ft tall and move at 700mph!
Whats the drill for that?!?
