*2.1.3. Focus group discussions*

The questions concerning early warning system were mostly inquired from the middle‐ and old‐aged men (mostly fishermen by occupation) and women of different households. A special emphasis was placed on the availability of various communication systems in the community and used at the household level. An additional content of the investigation involved recording oral histories of the 1945 tsunami. For this purpose, the researchers especially asked senior members of the household to recount what they had observed or heard from their elders witnessed the 1945 tsunami (**Figure 4**).
