The article from IFLScience discusses how indigenous myths, storytelling, and traditional knowledge can serve as early warning systems for natural disasters. It highlights several examples where ancient stories have proven to contain accurate geological and environmental insights. For instance, the Moken people of Southeast Asia have a legend about a "Laboon" (a giant wave), which led them to move to higher ground before the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, saving many lives. Similarly, Aboriginal stories from Australia describe past climate changes and megafauna, offering clues about long-term environmental shifts. The article also mentions the Maori legend of the eruption of Mount Tarawera in New Zealand, which was eerily accurate in its details. These narratives not only preserve cultural heritage but also encode practical survival knowledge, suggesting that integrating such traditional wisdom with modern science could enhance disaster preparedness and response strategies.
