The Indian Ocean region, including India's coastal areas, remains vulnerable to tsunamis, particularly those originating from the Andaman trench. Tsunamis can cause widespread destruction, loss of life, and displacement of communities. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed over 10,000 lives in India, highlighted the devastating impact of such events. Despite the advanced warning system, tsunamis originating close to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands can reach the shores within minutes, leaving little time for evacuation. Coastal communities, especially those in low-lying areas, are at higher risk of inundation and damage.
