For this reason, it is important that locals and tourists know how to recognize a tsunami and can respond appropriately. What better place to start that lesson than in our schools? On Thursday, Feb. 5, at 10 a.m. at Del Mar Heights Elementary, students will view and dance along to the video premiere of "Tsunamis: Know What to Do," an innovative, educational six-minute animated short film produced by the County Office of Emergency Services. Is a tsunami possible for San Diego County? Historically speaking, tsunamis are rare in the county, but offshore faults and offshore landslides are capable of generating locally-damaging tsunamis.
