Tsunamis (Japanese term meaning wave in the harbor) are a threat in the Pacific Basin, which includes Hawai`i. This page contains informational links about tsunamis, and what action you should take if there is a threat of a tsunami.
LOCAL EARTHQUAKE - May cause you to fall or have difficulty standing. This is a natural tsunami warning. Initially, protect yourself from earthquake effects. When the shaking stops, leave the evacuation zones immediately. When you know that an earthquake has occurred, stand by for a tsunami emergency message.
- URGENT TSUNAMI WARNING - Possible tsunami generated by a significant earthquake in local waters. Sirens will sound. Turn on radio. If an urgent tsunami warning is announced, leave the evacuation zones immediately.
- TSUNAMI WATCH - Significant distant earthquake has occurred. Tsunami approach not confirmed but possible. No siren sounding. Prepare for possible upgrade to tsunami warning.
- TSUNAMI WARNING - Destructive waves from a tsunami may inundate all coastlines. Be prepared to evacuate when advised/ordered by civil defense.
- TSUNAMI EVACUATION - Sirens will sound. Monitor radio. Those who are in tsunami evacuation zones must begin evacuation when the evacuation advisory/order is issued by civil defense.
The City & County of Honolulu has designated the Alii Place area as a Tsunami Evacuation Zone in the event of an Extreme (but not regular) Tsunami.
