Tsunami hazards

Germany has a low risk for a tsunami to torment the country. Less than a third of the country touches water, and that is at the top of the country, meeting the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Some of the last recorded tsunamis occured in the 1800s. The main tsunami threat to Germany would be if an earthquake occured in the North Sea, as that situation has caused the recorded tsunami to the country. In an article belonging to the "Journal of Tsunami Society International", it is stated that, "an earthquake generated tsunami imposed in the same way affected different regions in the German Bight and the North Sea." It is also stated in the article, "Tsunami risk in the North Sea was explored by means of N-waves imposed at the open boundaries of the refined North Sea model. Each tsunami affected different regions on the North Sea basin and the German Bight. For the German Bight, among all cases analyzed, the most dangerous tsunamis were those generated by earthquakes south of the North Sea, because of their incidence direction. Particularly for the 1858 tsunami, the location of the most affected regions and their arrival times along the German Bight and Denmark were well reproduced." This depicts the main tsunami threat germany would suffer.

 It was hinted that Germany was more likely to suffer storm surges due to the weather.
Germany has decent systems and methods in place for warnings. As can be help to support this, Germany created the system "The German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS)" to help assist Indonesia in having a proper warning system to protect their country from future devestation.
