Preparing for tsunamis │ The Science of Disasters with Ilan Kelman

Tsunami disasters do not happen due to a tsunami forming.
They happen over the long-term due to choices made about tsunami vulnerabilities.
How do we fail tsunami victims? And are the current warning systems enough?
Join Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, for this series, The Science of Disasters, in which he explains exactly what constitutes a disaster, why they happen and how we can better prepare for them.
