Requested Information:
“By a simple twist of fate, I received the latest version of KCDC’s publication “ARE
YOU PREPARED FOR A TSUNAAMI”. The Tsunami risk is stated as 200-300 meters
further inland from the beach. Like you, I am not a climate change expert but having
a “long deep fast travelling ocean wave caused by earthquakes ,landslides, or
volcanic eruptions beneath or near the ocean” ( page 2) coming towards you before
you get 300 metres to safety seems a bit scary. Contrasted with the possibility of a
couple of millimetres, over a long period of time I do grant you (but still a possibility)
, with a 2 kms zone. Proportionate response? Really?
Could you advise me which experts did you use for the Tsunami calculation?”
