TSUNAME ALLERT: THINGS TO DO LIST

The Basic Things to Do

• Listen to local radio stations for official Civil Defense announcements and instructions.
• Evacuate if advised or ordered to do so.
• Listen for the "all clear" announcement before returning to the coastline.
• Leave telephone and communications lines open for emergencies.
• Stay away from the beach and the coastline.

Precautions

• Find out if you live, work, or go to school in an tsunami inundation zone.
• Know your elevation above sea level, as evacuation orders maybe based on these numbers.
• Be familiar with tsunami warning signs (earthquakes and landslides).
• Have a chosen meeting location that is inland and elevated.
• Have an evacuation and disaster kit ready that includes a radio and batteries.
