    The problem with that plan is that there aren't enought buses.

    Okay, it would suprise me anyway if they could actually evacuate all the schools, let alone the city area, in time. I reckon if they started evaccing there would be mass hysteria, carnage on the roads and gridlock. Unless there is some sort of organised, workable evacuation plan it would be better for most people to stay put. Better to be in a building than running or driving around like a mad chook, looking for a higher perch that isn't there.

    Calling parents to come and get them? IIRC a tsunami travels at up to 1000 kph and is not guaranteed to start in a distant part of the globe. It sounds to me like a lot of people would get in a traffic snarl and have to run for it. Calling parents will just create the traffic jam at the schools at the worst possible time and assumes they will have adequate warning.

    If the plan doesn't work for all the kids then forget it. Divert all buses to schools and have police divert all other traffic away, using any means necessary to do so.
