3CASE STUDY ON NATURAL DISASTERS
Purpose of the Case Study
Tsunamis are a major cause of destruction to human lives. It causes unprecedented
damage to life and properties. The coastal areas are the worst affected and large scale Tsunamis
completely destroys the low lying coastal areas. The purpose of the following case study is to
find out the potential solutions to reduce the impact of Tsunamis.
Scope of the Case Study
The following case study has a huge scope as it deals with a sensitive issue like Tsunami.
The case study will discuss all the potential solutions of reducing the impact of tsunamis. The
case study will act as a proper source for the future studies.
Best Practices
The case study has a significant impact on the target audience. It will help the readers to
have a basic idea related to Tsunamis. The case study also throws light on some of the unknown
facts about tsunami and underwater quakes. The use of charts and some figures has helped to
make the case study a compact one.

Problems
Tsunamis occur when a powerful earthquake occurs in the ocean. It is caused by the
movement of the oceanic plates and generally leads to the formation of huge sea waves that can
cause havoc to the coastal areas. It can completely destroy the areas adjacent to the sea and
leaves no sign of population. A number of Tsunamis have happened till day and the numbers are
increasing. One of the recent such instances being the large Tsunami of Indian Ocean that
claimed more than two lakh lives and destroyed the landmass and the vegetation. However the
most active Tsunami range which is called the ring of Fire is within the Pacific Ocean and
registers the largest number of Tsunamis occurring globally. The waves created by the
earthquake have unimaginable speeds of about 500 miles per hour. Advancement in technology
has helped to calculate the Tsunamis accurately and efficiently. The researcher has prepared a
case study on the precautionary measures that can be affected to stop Tsunamis. However
stooping them is practically impossible but technology and better measures can help to decrease
the amount of loss to a substantial level.
Analysis of Alternatives
As mentioned earlier it is practically impossible to stop the occurrence of Tsunami or
under water seaquakes. But it is possible to reduce the negative effects and impacts of the
organization by adopting some selected strategies (Abdolali et al. 2015). The construction of
artificial structures can help the low lying coastal areas to prevent themselves from tsunamis, but
they are believed to be not friendly to the environment. The scientists who have been researching
on the following have developed different procedures to counter such a destructive force of the
