Move to high ground immediately
Go inland as far as possible
Follow evacuation routes and signs
Leave beaches, harbors, and low-lying areas at once
If you are near the coast and feel a strong or long earthquake, evacuate immediately
If the ocean suddenly recedes, evacuate immediately
If you hear a tsunami warning or siren, evacuate immediately
Do not wait to see the wave
Do not go back for belongings
If you cannot reach high ground, go to the highest sturdy building available
Use stairs, not elevators
If trapped by water, grab onto something that floats
Protect your head and neck from debris
Stay away from rivers, canals, and estuaries
Remain in a safe area until officials give the all-clear
Expect multiple waves
Do not return to the coast after the first wave
Listen to emergency alerts and local authorities
Keep an emergency kit ready
Know your evacuation route in advance
Practice tsunami evacuation plans regularly
