Tsunami/storm surge station
We often hear the word, but how much do you know about the true wonders of tsunamis?
Would you like to feel the fear of a tsunami? This is an information center where you can learn the dangers of tsunamis and storm surges through a simulated tsunami experience using photos, videos and sounds of storm surge damage, and acquire correct knowledge on how to protect yourself from their ferocity, such as evacuation methods. The playful exhibits make it interesting to learn about the dangers of tsunamis, making it perfect for disaster prevention education for elementary and junior high school students and field trips!
