Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation

There is a very small possibility of a destructive local TSUNAMI estimation at the forecast points - no tsunamis with amplitude of 0.5 meter or over are expected at any of them
However at some coasts particularly those near the epicenter higher tsunamis MAY arrive than our estimation at the nearby forecast points authorities should be aware of this possibility
Furthermore the evaluation of tsunamigenic potential and estimated arrival time of tsunamis MAY be different from those of ptwc due to differences in the estimated earthquake parameters authorities should use the earliest arrival times for greatest safety
This will be the final bulletin unless there are changes about the potential of TSUNAMI generation by re-evaluation of the earthquake or there are reports on TSUNAMI observations
