We examined the impact of the warming by measuring the effectiveness or the warming. reasons behind evaluation of failure to do so. experience or evacuating and staying in shelters. and loss in assets. We also examined whether evacuees will trust future warnings. The findings also reveal the extent to which people in the tsunami prone coastal areas have enough time to respond to a warning in the future.
