Tsunami Advice (subject to change)
- If there are no evacuation routes defined, move to higher ground
(At least 100 feet in elevation from sea level) - Move on foot when possible, do not drive
(espcially if the wave is immanent or emergency vehicles are using them) - Do not collect belongings or even supplies
(especially if not in a remote location with harsh conditions) - Preferably a mile inland
(if there is likely to be time) - To the highest floor of a sturdy building (STAY there)
- Stay tuned to the radio for Weather or news broadcasts
Having read suggestions, if you are in a hazardous location, consider
- Where evacuation routes are for work and home
- Attend all community tsunami awareness activities
- Prepare a way to organise residents quickly for a safe departure
- Prepare supplies and wind up radios, for swift ‘snatch’ collection, around your property. But only along your escape route.
- Security and storage of prized possessions to eliminate any resident from delaying an exit to retrieve them. As it is never worth it.
