Remember, tsunami arrive on the coast as a series of waves. The first may not be the largest.<\/p>\n
There are 3 types of tsunami warning<\/p>\n
No action needed. There is no danger.<\/p>\n
Stay away from the shore.<\/p>\n
move<\/p>\n
Move away from the shore immediately.<\/p>\n
If you are on a ship or boat at sea<\/p>\n
Damaging waves and unpredictable currents can affect harbours for some time after the first tsunami waves.<\/p>\n
If you are on a boat in shallow water<\/p>\n
return to land and secure your boat. Then move to high ground.<\/p>\n
NEVER return to low-lying areas unless emergency services tell you it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n
If you live on or regularly visit the coast<\/p>\n
Dangerous rips and currents may continue for up to 48 hours. Do not go to the beach or into the water until authorities say it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n
