Evacuation Centers, which are short-term help centers set up after a disaster occurs.
Distant tsunamis
A distant tsunami will take 4 hours or more to come ashore. You will feel no earthquake, and the tsunami will generally
be smaller than that from a local earthquake. Typically, there is time for an official warning and evacuation to safety.
Evacuation for a distant tsunami will generally be indicated by a 3-minute siren blast (if your area has sirens) and
an announcement over NOAA weather radio that the local area has been put into an official TSUNAMI WARNING.
In isolated areas along beaches and bays you may not hear a warning siren. Here, a sudden change of sea level should
prompt you to move immediately to high ground. If you hear the 3-minute blast or see a sudden sea level change, first
evacuate away from shoreline areas, then turn on your local broadcast media or NOAA weather radio for more information.
