Q1E. Elaborate the four points of difference in Training manual for Tsunami and Cyclone Disaster Management. [4 marks]
Answer
| Training item | Tsunami | Cyclone |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger and lead time | Recognise official alerts and natural signs; nearby sources can give very little time. | Follow progressively updated cyclone forecasts and warnings, often with longer preparation time. |
| Movement | Rehearse rapid movement to designated high ground/inland safe areas. | Rehearse early evacuation to cyclone-safe shelters before routes become unsafe. |
| Shelter and hazards | Avoid mapped inundation areas and expect several waves. | Protect against wind, flying debris, storm surge and rain flooding. |
| Return | Wait for the tsunami all-clear; the first wave may not be largest. | Wait for official clearance and do not mistake the eye’s calm for safety. |
Both manuals need accessible routes, accountability, essential supplies, family contacts and arrangements for people needing assistance. Local hazard maps determine actual safe destinations.
