As we have all seen, our earth is changing and with numerous earthquakes and volcanic activity on the rise, the danger of Tsunami’s affecting more shores around the globe greatly increases. This was more than evident by the last earthquake that triggered a devastating Tsunami that levelled towns and villages in Japan and surrounding islands. More than 23,000 people lost their lives that day which made us at Havana Houseboats ask, “What could have been done to save these people?” So we applied some of the key features we used in our successful houseboat hull design, viewed countless amounts of footage of the Tsunami in action and took notes on how different objects reacted when hit with the waves and the very next day we came up with an innovation that would save thousands around the globe. The concept of the Tsunami Survival Pod was complete and we began production. As we saw in Japan, the days following the Tsunami brought very inclement weather and snow fell on much of the region, this greatly diminished any chance for anyone who did survive the Tsunami. For this reason, the Pod is fitted with food rations and blankets and can be used as shelter in the aftermath of a Tsunami. Due to the 6 tonne crush capacity it can also be used as an earthquake shelter. It has been designed to fit inside a standard size garage or carport and the wheels allow for easy mobility in a confined space.
