When working on your Infographic, here something you might consider this steps:

Objective → Audience  → Content  → Key Message | Call to Action → Visual and Readability.

Identify what is your objective, is it to

• Educate, to let others know about facts or something.
• Warn, to inform other to be prepared of potential danger or harm. or
• Advocate or inform, so there will be follow up.

Who is your audience is it (this will affects tone, complexity, and visuals)

• Specifically for other students in the school,
• General community at schools, i.e. students, teacher, school workers, parents in the school,
• General Public

What would be your interest for the content:

• The science and general knowledge of Tsunami, i.e. tsunami sign.
• General Tsunami Awareness and Preparedness information
• Specific tsunami awareness and preparedness that link to your school
• Specific information about activities in school for tsunami preparedness.

What would be your message

• Key Information:
• What are the must-know points? (e.g., warning signs of a tsunami, evacuation routes, do’s & don’ts, preparedness tips).
• What to do” over long explanations.
• Accuracy: Ensure facts are verified with credible disaster risk reduction sources (UNESCO-IOC, BMKG, Red Cross, etc.).
• Call to Action
• Clear action (e.g., “Move to higher ground immediately!” / “Know your evacuation route”).
• Provide information link to the action (e.g. “In Emergency assemble at the front school yard”).

Relevancy to your context

• Align with your school disaster protocols (e.g., evacuation routes, official alert levels).
• Language use simple words local or even bilingual versions.
• Image or illustrations, make it easy to understand even without text (would be more attractive to students).
• Reflect your local culture.

Visual

• Storytelling format i.e. before, during, after
• Reader will scan from top-to-bottom or left-to-right
• Clear image(s) e.g., warning signs, immediate actions, safe zones.
• Use local, national of universal symbols (waves, evacuation arrows, sirens, first aid).

Design Principles

• Simplicity: Avoid overcrowding; one message per visual chunk.
• Contrast: High-contrast colors, legible fonts, clear headings.
• Color codes: Use intuitive colors context e.g. Red/Orange = Warning/Danger; Green = Safe; Blue = Water
• Readability: limit font type, style, and size to make it readable
