Tsunami Warning Or Advisory Safety Measures

Move out of the water, off the beach, and away from harbors, marinas, breakwaters, bays and inlets.

Be alert to and follow instructions from your local emergency officials because they may have more detailed or specific information for your location.

If you feel a strong earthquake or extended ground rolling take immediate protective actions such as moving inland and/or uphill preferably by foot.

Boat operators: Where time and conditions permit, move your boat out to sea to a depth of at least 180 feet.
If at sea avoid entering shallow water, harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets to avoid floating and submerged debris and strong currents.

Do not go to the shore to observe the tsunami

Do not return to the coast until local emergency officials indicate it is safe to do so

Things To Know If you are in a Tsunami Advisory Area

A tsunami with strong waves and currents is possible.

Waves and currents can drown or injure people who are in the water.

Currents at beaches and in harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets may be especially dangerous.

Things To Know If you are in a Tsunami Warning or Advisory Area

Some impacts may continue for many hours to days after arrival of the first wave.

The first wave may not be the largest so later waves may be larger.

Each wave may last 5 to 45 minutes as a wave encroaches and recedes.

Coasts facing all directions are threatened because the waves can wrap around islands and headlands and into bays.

Strong shaking or rolling of the ground indicates an earthquake has occurred and a tsunami may be imminent.

A rapidly receding or receded shoreline, unusual waves and sounds, and strong currents are signs of a tsunami.

The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea, a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water.
