🌊 16 tsunami events have been recorded in 2025 alone, according to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information. This resulted in 339 injuries 🏥 and 2,748 houses damaged 🏚️. But what can countries do to be tsunami ready? ➡️ Seafloor data is the 1st step. The shape and texture of the seafloor has an impact on the size of tsunami waves, focusing, amplifying, or dispersing their energy. Hydrography provides data for: 📊Improved tsunami prediction models 🗺️Better tsunami inundation maps 🚨Enhanced early warning systems To know more about the importance of hydrography, please visit: https://iho.int/en/importance-of-hydrography #Tsunami #Awareness #international #ocean #oceanscience #science #hydrography #marinescience #marine #UN #models #oceandata #data #seas #sea #coast #coastalareas #seafloor #waves #Tsunamiwaves #maps #inundation #prediction #modeling #model #WorldTsunamiAwarenessDay #TsunamiDay #EarlyWarningsForAll Data taken from: National Geophysical Data Center / World Data Service: NCEI/WDS Global Historical Tsunami Database.
