The Pacific Tsunami Museum is one of the most unique museums in Hawaii. The location was chosen deliberately to remind locals and tourists alike about how destructive tsunamis can be, as well as educate them on ways they might avoid such devastation in the future for themselves or other regions affected by this natural disaster. Visitors will learn all sorts of interesting facts from ancient civilizations that have existed before recorded history up until today’s modern technology which may help predict when a tsunami could strike again so people know what warning signs to look out for! The museum has a variety of interactive exhibits, including an earthquake simulator and videos that educate visitors on tsunamis. You can get hands-on with the various aspects related to them too by learning how they affect boats in water tanks or watching the waves crash into one another from afar.
What are the goals of The Museum? Through education and awareness, no one should die due to a tsunami. It is dedicated to preserving history through public tsunamis events as well as making sure that people understand what can happen when they go into natural disasters unprepared.
Disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes have been a long part of the Pacific Basin’s history – but it is tsunamis that cause most devastation. While many people are familiar with floods from these disasters in their homes or neighborhoods, they don’t know how much worse things can get when there isn’t any land to stop them. A tsunami will often travel over water for miles until finally reaching shallow waters near shore where its destructive potential takes full effect on everything within reach: buildings, bridges, and even houses just feet away could be destroyed by one wave!
Tsunamis are a fact of life in Hawaii. They have killed more people than any other natural disaster on the islands and Hilo has suffered the most damage, loss of lives from tsunamis out of all cities or townships within Hawai’i. In the span of fewer than six decades, Hilo is rocked twice by tsunamis. The first one on April 1 in 1946 was a monstrous wave that changed everything about how people lived and made their livelihoods. And then again just five years later when an even bigger tsunami came to town on May 23rd, 1960 destroying many lives all over again as if it has never been rebuilt since its last visit barely 5 years ago!
