Description

Maltese schoolchildren will learn how to deal with a tsunami as part of a project being drawn up for three primary schools.

The aim is to make young pupils aware of the phenomenon, as Malta tries to prepare for such an event, unlikely as it may be.

“Children are more receptive to information. We have to see how they can then disseminate this information to their parents,” Civil Protection Department director Patrick Murgo said.

The three schools earmarked for the project are the primaries of St Paul’s Bay, Marsascala and Marsaxlokk.
