Tsunamis
Threat: Series of destructive ocean waves that can effect all shorelines.
May occur at any time with limited or no warning. A strong earthquake may cause tsunamis. Go to high ground immediately.
“A steady three minute siren tone is the attention alert signal. Tune your radio or television to any station and listen for emergency information and instructions …
Persons in shoreline or beach areas should go to high ground immediately.”
From the Disaster Preparedness Info pages,

If a “watch” has been issued, tsunamis are possible; get ready. If a “warning” is issued, you should leave evacuation zones immediately.
