Key information extracted from original GTS message :
Evaluation Watch

  • It is not known that a TSUNAMI was generated
  • This watch is based only on the earthquake evaluation
  • An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a TSUNAMI that can strike coastlines with a wave height greater than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up greater than 1m
  • Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
  • This center will monitor sea level data from gauges near the earthquake to determine if a TSUNAMI was generated and estimate the severity of the threat
