* We have a better understanding of the science of tsunamis. We know how they are generated, how they propagate across the ocean, and how they interact with the coastline. This knowledge has helped us to develop more accurate tsunami warning systems.

* We have improved our tsunami warning systems. Tsunami warning systems have been installed in many parts of the world, and they are constantly being improved. These systems can provide early warning of tsunamis, giving people time to evacuate to safety.

* We are better prepared for tsunamis. Many communities have developed tsunami evacuation plans and public education programs. These measures can help to reduce the risk of damage and loss of life in the event of a tsunami.

No, we are not wiser about tsunamis.

* We still don't fully understand the causes of tsunamis. While we know what triggers tsunamis, such as earthquakes and landslides, we don't always know why they occur in some places and not others. This lack of understanding makes it difficult to predict tsunamis accurately.

* Tsunami warning systems are not always reliable. Tsunami warning systems can sometimes fail to issue warnings in time, or they can issue false alarms. This can lead to confusion and complacency, which can increase the risk of damage and loss of life.

* We are not always prepared for tsunamis. Many communities still do not have tsunami evacuation plans or public education programs. This lack of preparedness can make it difficult to respond to tsunamis effectively.

Conclusion

We are wiser about tsunamis than we were in the past, but we still have much to learn. By continuing to research tsunamis and improve our warning systems and preparedness measures, we can help to reduce the risk of damage and loss of life in the event of a tsunami.
