Summary Earthquakes and tsunamis are devastating geohazards with significant societal impacts. Most recent occurrences have shown that their impact on the stability of nations-societies and the world geopolitics is immense, potentially triggering a tipping point for a major downturn in the global economy. This publication presents the most current information on the causes and effects of some of the modern and historical earthquake-tsunami events, and effective practices of risk assessment-disaster management, implemented by various governments, international organizations and intergovernmental agencies.-- Source other than the Library of Congress.
