The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has issued a Tsunami Advisory for coastal areas in the Philippines facing the Pacific Ocean, including Eastern Samar. This advisory comes after a powerful Magnitude 8.7 earthquake (initially reported as 8.0, then 8.7, with some sources now saying 8.8 ) struck off the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia, earlier today, July 30, 2025, at approximately 7:25 AM Philippine Standard Time.

1. STAY AWAY FROM THE BEACH AND DO NOT GO TO THE COAST. This is the most critical instruction. Even small waves can be dangerous due to strong currents.
2. MOVE FARTHER INLAND if your house is located very near the shoreline. Do not wait for an official evacuation order if you are in a high-risk area and observe unusual sea conditions.
3. BOATS AT SEA: If you are already at sea, stay offshore in deep waters until the advisory is officially cancelled.
4. BOATS IN HARBORS/SHALLOW WATERS: Owners of boats in harbors, estuaries, or shallow coastal waters should secure their boats and move away from the waterfront.
5. BE ALERT FOR UNUSUAL WAVES: Pay attention to any unusual changes in sea level or unexpected strong currents.
