Evaluation Advisory

This center will continue to monitor sea level gauges nearest the region and report if any additional TSUNAMI wave activity is observed
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
A TSUNAMI is a series of waves and the first wave MAY not be the largest
TSUNAMI wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a coast due to local effects
The time from one TSUNAMI wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive
