Abstract
- The article reports that inhabitants of the Pacific Simbo Island were more likely to survive a tsunami if they heeded the oral culture wisdom of their elders and ancestors. It had become traditional for elders to advise islanders to seek high ground following earthquakes, given their observations that tidal waves often followed temblors.
