Astronaut for Hire

Tsunami educational video

2/25/2009 01:00:00 AM

Today's post is for the kids out there. Below is a 7-minute video that shows an animated crab teaching a class on tsunami preparedness. The video was created by the San Diego County Office of Emergency Services with grants from NOAA (via the NTHMP) and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

Overall, the video is not too bad, as long as you remember the intended audience. A map that I created is featured around the 3-minute mark. It's the one showing the two NOAA tsunami warning centers and the areas of responsibility they cover.
