Alaska tsunami LIVE: Huge warning issued after 7.2 magnitude earthquake off US coast

 * A tsunami with damaging waves and powerful currents is

   possible.

 * Repeated coastal flooding is possible as waves arrive

   onshore, move inland, and drain back into the ocean.

 * Strong and unusual waves, currents and inland flooding

   can drown or injure people and weaken or destroy structures

   on land and in water.

 * Water filled with floating or submerged debris that can

   injure or kill people and weaken or destroy buildings and

   bridges is possible.

 * Strong and unusual currents and waves in harbors,

   marinas, bays, and inlets may be especially

   destructive.

 * Some impacts may continue for many hours to days after

   arrival of the first wave.

 * The first wave may not be the largest so later waves may

   be larger.

 * Each wave may last 5 to 45 minutes as a wave encroaches

   and recedes.

 * Coasts facing all directions are threatened because the

   waves can wrap around islands and headlands and into bays.

 * Strong shaking or rolling of the ground indicates an

   earthquake has occurred and a tsunami may be imminent.

 * A rapidly receding or receded shoreline, unusual waves and

   sounds, and strong currents are signs of a tsunami.

 * The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea,

   a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave,

   as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water.

If you are in a tsunami warning area;

 * Evacuate inland or to higher ground above and beyond

   designated tsunami hazard zones or move to an upper floor

   of a multi-story building depending on your situation.

 * Move out of the water, off the beach, and away from

   harbors, marinas, breakwaters, bays and inlets.

 * Be alert to and follow instructions from your local

   emergency officials because they may have more detailed or

   specific information for your location.

 * If you feel a strong earthquake or extended ground rolling

   take immediate protective actions such as moving inland

   and/or uphill preferably by foot.

 * Boat operators,

     * Where time and conditions permit, move your boat out to

       sea to a depth of at least 180 feet.

     * If at sea avoid entering shallow water, harbors,

       marinas, bays, and inlets to avoid floating and

       submerged debris and strong currents.

 * Do not go to the shore to observe the tsunami.

 * Do not return to the coast until local emergency officials

   indicate it is safe to do so.

* The following parameters are based on a rapid preliminary assessment of the earthquake and changes may occur.

 * Magnitude      7.3

 * Origin Time    1238 AKDT Jul 16 2025
