Although we will never be able to prevent tsunamis, we can continue to better understand and prepare for their destructive and deadly capacity. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System was built over the last five decades and will continue to evolve to protect people from tsunamis. This book is a tribute to the men and women who have dedicated their careers to saving lives."
