Evaluation

  • A destructive widespread TSUNAMI threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and TSUNAMI data
  • However - there is the small possibility of a local TSUNAMI that could affect coasts located usually no more than a hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter
  • Authorities in the region near the epicenter should be made aware of this possibility
  • This will be the only product issued by the pacific TSUNAMI warning center for this event unless additional information becomes available
