Check it out:
These little cards are all over Valdez, AK. Seriously ~ everywhere. Since my camera isn't all that great, allow me to translate for you:
IF YOU FEEL AN EARTHQUAKE, A TSUNAMI MAY FOLLOW
HOW TO ESCAPE A TSUNAMI
- Drop, cover and hold during earthquake.
- Move insland quickly, or use local evacuation route.
- Wait for official all clear before returning to beach.
Now, I will be the first to admit that these are pretty commonsense instructions so, in that way, I didn't actually learn anything. However! Valdez being so tsunami-prone that these little cards are everywhere is new information. New, intriguing, disconcerting information. But now we know how to escape a tsunami.
Aren't you excited? I knew you were.
Oh yes - this was quite a problem after the Good Friday quake...
