Warning
Dissemination
of tsunami |
-
Tsunami warnings, watches, and information bulletins issued by
PTWC and other Regional
Centers are disseminated local, state, national, and international
users as well as the media. These users, usually government
authorities, in turn disseminate the tsunami information to the
public, generally over commercial radio and television channels.
-
With the help of modern communication facilities, direct
broadcast of tsunami information is urgently provided to the
public.
-
Local authorities and emergency managers are responsible for
formulating and executing evacuation plans for areas under a
tsunami warning. The public should stay-tuned to the local media
for evacuation orders should a tsunami warning be issued. And, the
public should NOT RETURN to low lying areas until the tsunami
threat has passed and the "all clear" is announced by the local
authorities.
