WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
A tsunami is a vast volume of seawater in motion, extending from the surface to the ocean floor. It is a series of long-period waves created by an abrupt disturbance that displaces a large amount of water. Tsunamis can travel at speeds of up to 600 mph (jet speed) in deep water, and the characteristics of the ocean floor affect them. TSUNAMI CHARACTERISTICS Tsunami Characteristics. Tsunamis are characterized as shallow-water waves. Shallow-water waves are different from wind-generated waves, the waves many of us have observed at the beach. Wind-generated waves usually have period (time between two successional waves) of five to twenty seconds and a wavelength (distance between two successional WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? What Causes a Tsunami? Tsunamis are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis. Note that 72% of tsunamis are generated byearthquakes.
HISTORY | PACIFIC TSUNAMI MUSEUM History. The Pacific Tsunami Museum (PTM) was co-founded by Dr. Walter Dudley and Jeanne Branch Johnston. In 1988, Dr. Dudley published the first edition of the book Tsunami! wherein he made a request of the community for survivor stories.

ARTICLE "TSUNAMI AND SCIENCE" A tsunami is a series of waves 10 to 20 minutes apart generated by the heave and dip of the sea floor. As soon as the earthquake happens, tsunami waves begin to spread out at the speed of a jet liner, but are already being analyzed and queries sent to tide stations near the disturbance. (Some sea level gauges are telemetered to Honolulu andcan

Through education and awareness, we believe that no one should die due to a tsunami. The goals of the Museum are to promote public tsunami education and to preserve history. The Museum serves as a living memorial to those who lost their lives in past tsunami events.WHAT IS A TSUNAMI?
A tsunami is a vast volume of seawater in motion, extending from the surface to the ocean floor. It is a series of long-period waves created by an abrupt disturbance that displaces a large amount of water. Tsunamis can travel at speeds of up to 600 mph (jet speed) in deep water, and the characteristics of the ocean floor affect them. TSUNAMI CHARACTERISTICS Tsunami Characteristics. Tsunamis are characterized as shallow-water waves. Shallow-water waves are different from wind-generated waves, the waves many of us have observed at the beach. Wind-generated waves usually have period (time between two successional waves) of five to twenty seconds and a wavelength (distance between two successional WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? What Causes a Tsunami? Tsunamis are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis. Note that 72% of tsunamis are generated byearthquakes.
HISTORY | PACIFIC TSUNAMI MUSEUM History. The Pacific Tsunami Museum (PTM) was co-founded by Dr. Walter Dudley and Jeanne Branch Johnston. In 1988, Dr. Dudley published the first edition of the book Tsunami! wherein he made a request of the community for survivor stories. In 1993, a tsunami survivor by the name of Jeanne Branch Johnston saw the need for a tsunami museum inHilo.
STORIES OVERVIEW
The powerful stories of past tsunami survivors document the cultural and socio-economic development of Hawai’i, and most importantly, educate others about the dangers of tsunamis. The Pacific Tsunami Museum shares stories to save lives. View a sampling of written narratives and video interviews. Many more are presented within themuseum exhibits.
HILO BAY WEB CAMERA
This camera is showing a live video stream of Hilo Bay from the rooftop of the Pacific Tsunami Museum. Our thoughtful BayCam operation donor: Jay and Gloria Turkovsky. Jana Owen. Joseph Moore.

OUTREACH AND EVENTS OVERVIEW Outreach and Events Overview. In accordance with its Mission, the Pacific Tsunami Museum (PTM) promotes outreach within the local community and globally. this outreach initiative takes place on many different levels and within varied venues.TSUNAMI FORECASTING
Step 2: Determine tsunami travel time. Tsunami travel time is dependent on seafloor depth. We know seafloor depth for the entire earth. Therefore, once we know when and where an earthquake as occurred, we can determine when a tsunami will arrive at any given coastline. Step 3: Check sea level gauges for evidence of a tsunami. ANIMATIONS | PACIFIC TSUNAMI MUSEUM The simulator lets you create small, medium, and large waves by selecting how fast, how far, and how long the winds have travelled. (Note that these are wind waves, not tsunami waves.) Other animations include the “Deep Sea”, “Triest Submersible”, “SatelliteViewer”, “Back
TSUNAMI IMAGES
The tsunami to strike the state of Hawai’i on May 23, 1960 was generated from an earthquake in Chile with a moment magnitude of 9.5. Much of the destruction occurred in Hilo, Hawai’i, where 61 people were killed, 537 buildings destroyed, and damages totaled over $23 million. The tsunami continued across the Pacific and struck Japanseven

Some of the photos are real photos, but they are not of a tsunami event. Below you may view some examples of fake tsunami photographs. This photograph appears as an obvious hoax, most likely created with a computer imaging program. World renowned tsunami expert, George Curtis, has confirmed that no such event has ever happened.
