UNESCO develops a global tsunami warning system and considers that in the Mediterranean area there is no prepared community, Portugal only as a phenomenon caused by an earthquake.
“We all remember the earthquake of 1755, in Lisbon, and currently Portugal has a tsunami alert caused by earthquakes that is effective and now it is necessary to continue to promote these alerts not only to exercise the mental activity and land agency of land, but also to exercise the mental activity and land of the Oceans,” said Bernardlialia, Program Specialist of the Intergovernmental Commission on the Oceans, in response.
The Global Tsunami System aims to prepare 20 all communities in the World of UNESCO press by Tuesday’s event, to alert this fair press conference in Paris, to alert this fair press conference in Paris, to alert this fair press conference in Paris . the lack of preparation of the Mediterranean countries.

“In the Mediterranean there will certainly be a tsunami and it can happen for reasons: earthquakes, volcanoes from different terrains. If we look at historical reenactments and as physical evidence we have of tsunamis in the past. With this information, we can estimate the areas at risk of a tsunami, as well as the study of tectonic plates”, explained Bernardo Aliaga.
Some regions most at risk are Istanbul, Turkey, Alexandria, Egypt, on the coast of Algeria, as well as the south of France or Sicily, Italy.
