Summary of Sri Lanka Findings in pictures.

The lack of awareness about tsunami behavior increased the impact of the event. Nature provided a few warning indicators, which were ignored by everyone. If the public were aware of indicators such as the disappearance of the sea for few minutes, they could have identified the danger and many lives could have been saved. There was nearly 40minute of lag time between the destructive sea waves. Especially in the case of Sri Lanka there was enough lag time between the affected zones in eastern coast and western coast for warnings to be issued.
