DISTANT COASTLINES WITHIN HOURS. AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE

APPROPRIATE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO THIS POSSIBILITY. THIS CENTER

WILL MONITOR SEA LEVEL DATA FROM GAUGES NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE TO

DETERMINE IF A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED AND ESTIMATE THE SEVERITY OF

THE THREAT.

ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS

WITHIN THE WARNING AND WATCH AREAS ARE GIVEN BELOW. ACTUAL

ARRIVAL TIMES MAY DIFFER AND THE INITIAL WAVE MAY NOT BE THE

LARGEST. A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES AND THE TIME BETWEEN

SUCCESSIVE WAVES CAN BE FIVE MINUTES TO ONE HOUR.

Pacific Coast Tsunami Statement

To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement #1 issued 09/29/2009 at 11:02AM PDT

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, or Alaska coast. NO tsunami warning, watch or advisory is in effect for these areas.

Based on the earthquake magnitude, location and historic tsunami records, a damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.

At 10:48 AM Pacific Daylight Time on September 29, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.9 occurred in the Samoa Islands region. (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.)

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue a tsunami warning for regions near the epicenter.
