Tsunami waves are catastrophic events which can adversely impact communities located in often heavily populated coastal areas around the world, including Canada. Tsunami-induced coastal flooding often leads to numerous casualties and tremendous economic losses. Such extreme waves can propagate thousands of kilometres away from their generating source. Since 80% of tsunamis in the world have occurred in the Pacific Ocean, the western coast of Canada is particularly under threat of tsunami waves attack.

海啸是一种灾难性的事件，可能对包括加拿大在内的世界各地人口稠密的沿海地区的社区产生不利影响。海啸引发的沿海洪灾往往会造成大量人员伤亡和巨大的经济损失。这种极端的波可以传播到距离其产生源数千公里的地方。由于全球80%的海啸都发生在太平洋，加拿大西海岸尤其受到海啸巨浪的袭击威胁。
