Rest Easy, Pittsfield!

This is a bit of urgent preparedness advice from the Web site of Pittsfield Emergency Management Services. Before reading further, you might wish to have a map of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts handy:
A tsunami is a series of waves that may be dangerous and destructive. They are caused by underwater seismic activity. They occur most commonly in Hawaii and along the Pacific Rim. It is quite unlikely that Pittsfield could be affected by a tsunami.
Whew!

Who knows ? Someone might drop a bowling ball in the Library toilet. No one ever thinks about the poor janitors who have to clean that stuff up.

Because I'll probably do a column about this topic, I didn't mention that the same site also has advice for what to do in case of a volcanic eruption. In western Massachusetts.
