Natural hazards

Tsunami

Natural warning signs and what to do immediately.

Natural warnings: a long or strong earthquake, a sudden rise or fall in sea level, or loud and unusual noises from the sea. If you notice any of these, move immediately.
Go to the nearest high ground or as far inland as you can. If evacuation maps are available, follow them.
Walk, run or cycle if you can, to avoid traffic.
Stay away from the coast until officials tell you it is safe. A tsunami can be a series of waves.
Official warnings may come through Emergency Mobile Alert, radio, and Civil Defence.
