Wave activity now indicates that the threat has diminished or passed away. For any affected areas - when major waves or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passed.

Because local conditions can cause a wide variation in tsunami wave action, CANCELLATION of national warnings and ALL CLEAR determination must be made by national/state/local authorities. Please be aware that dangerous currents can continue for several hours after the main tsunami waves have passed.
