Good morning folks,

⚠️Tsunami Advisory – Strong Currents and Surges Continue (Update as of 6:15 AM, 31 July) ⚠️

This is an update on the ongoing tsunami advisory following the magnitude 8.8 earthquake near Kamchatka, Russia.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) advises that strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges continue to affect all coastal areas of New Zealand.

ℹ Key Updates:
• The tsunami advisory remains in effect for all New Zealand coastal areas, including the North Island, South Island, Stewart Island, Chatham Islands, and Great Barrier Island.

• The threat is expected to remain in place until at least midday today (Thursday 31 July).

• Tsunami activity has already reached parts of the country. Initial surges are not expected to be the largest and activity may continue for many hours.

🚫 What You Should Do
People in or near the shore in affected areas should:

• Move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas, and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.

• Stay off the beach – do not go to the coast to watch wave activity. Surges may be dangerous and unpredictable.

• If you are on a boat or at a marina, leave your vessel and move ashore. Do not return until advised it is safe to do so.
