Tsunami Debrief

Sep 25, 2025

Free Talk from SV Totem

Free live streams, approximately monthly, centered around cruising topics, by Behan and Jamie Gifford of SV Totem (twice circumnavigators).

Behan told Noonsite; “In all our years of cruising, we have never been in a storm aboard Totem – but the tsunami generated by a quake off Kamchatka on July 30th was our third. THIRD. The event was a wake up call for sailors around the Pacific. Three days later, we held a seminar to help cruisers assess, prepare, and take action if they face a tsunami threat: it’s now available to replay and share. This session covers:

  • when to worry about an event that’s several thousands of miles away
  • ways to determine impact locally
  • what to do if you’re at sea or a remote atoll
  • specific sites, apps, and other resources to monitor for
    1) alerts
    2) risk assessment
    3) event monitoring and
    4) aftermath analysis”
