 2. EVALUATION 
   
 Earthquakes of this size sometimes have potential to generate 
 Ocean-wide tsunamis that can be destructive along the entire 
 coastline of Indian ocean. Authorities in the region should be aware 
 of this possibility. However, so far there is no confirmation about 
 the triggering of a tsunami. An investigation is under way to 
 determine if a tsunami has been triggered.    RTSP INDIA will monitor 
 sea level gauges near epicenter and report if any tsunami wave 
 activity has occurred.
