Remember, if you’re near the coast and feel shaking: drop, cover, hold on until the shaking stops, then go to high ground and stay there.

B.C.’s coast is divided into 5 notification zones. Do you know your zone? What tsunami notification zone Is Juan de Fuca EA in? Most of our residents along the Juan de Fuca Strait are in Zone D, Port Renfrew is in Zone C #TsunamiPreparednessWeek

Tsunami Warnings: How to Know When a Tsunami is Coming
🧪
Know the signs, act fast, and save lives!

#TsunamiReady #TsunamiPreparednessWeek #TsunamiWarningSigns
The image is an informative graphic with a blue background, depicting natural tsunami warning signs. At the top, the word "NATURAL" stands out in white, followed by "Tsunami Warning Signs" in dark blue. Below, three icons illustrate warning signs: a white triangle with a house cracking, representing an earthquake, with yellow text saying "Feel a strong or long earthquake"; a double arrow pointing up and down above wavy lines, indicating ocean movement, with yellow text "See a sudden rise or fall of the ocean"; and an ear symbolizing sound, with yellow text "Hear a loud roar from the ocean." At the bottom, a yellow dashed line connects the warnings to the text, "Any of these could mean a tsunami is coming. Get quickly to high ground or inland!" There is a silhouette of a person running up a slope on the right, with a white tsunami.gov logo beneath it. The image is divided diagonally into two sections. The left section has a blue background with white text and icons illustrating "Natural Tsunami Warning Signs." Three circular icons show: a person running from a wave, waves rising or falling, and an ear hearing a sound. These symbols correspond to three warnings: feeling a strong/long earthquake, seeing a sudden rise/fall of the ocean, and hearing a loud roar from the ocean. The right section, with a white background and blue text and icons, describes "Official Tsunami Warnings." Circular icons represent different communication methods: radio, outdoor sirens, wireless emergency alerts and text messages, TV, and telephone notifications. The official website "tsunami.gov" is displayed in the bottom right corner alongside a logo.

If you live, work, or play in #California’s #TsunamiInundationZone, #TsunamiPreparednessWeek is a great time to understand the risk, plan how you will respond, & make sure you have what you need now to stay safe.

Remember, #tsunami waves are dangerous & may last many hours. You can’t outrun them.

It’s #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in BC. BC's most damaging recent tsunami began in Alaska when a 1964 M9.2 quake launched a tsunami across the Pacific. The tsunami funneled up a fjord before hitting Port Alberni with several waves. Houses and cars were tossed around, but no one died. bit.ly/4ly9YXt ⚒️🧪
Riding out the 1964 Tsunami
Those who experienced the 1964 Port Alberni Tsunami firsthand have amazing stories to tell - stories of bravery and fright, awe and narrow escapes, but few have a story like Geo Monrufet's.

Tsunami
An earthquake is the sudden, rapid shaking of the earth, caused by the breaking and shifting of underground rock. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse and cause heavy items to fall, resulting in injuries and property damage. They happen anywhere and at any time.
