Magnitude      1.0 * Origin Time    1927 AKST Jan 14 2022                  2027  PST Jan 14 2022                  0427  UTC Jan 15 2022 * Coordinates    20.5 South 175.4 West * Depth          1 miles * Location       near the Tonga Islands  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS——————-Actions to protect human life and property willvary within tsunami advisory areas. If you are in a tsunami advisory area;  * Move out of the water, off the beach, and away from   harbors, marinas, breakwaters, bays and inlets.  * Be alert to and follow instructions from your local   emergency officials because they may have more detailed or   specific information for your location.  * If you feel a strong earthquake or extended ground rolling   take immediate protective actions such as moving inland   and/or uphill preferably by foot.  * Boat operators,     * Where time and conditions permit, move your boat out to       sea to a depth of at least 180 feet.      * If at sea avoid entering shallow water, harbors,       marinas, bays, and inlets to avoid floating and       submerged debris and strong currents.  * Do not go to the shore to observe the tsunami.  * Do not return to the coast until local emergency officials   indicate it is safe to do so.  IMPACTS——-Impacts will vary at different locations in the advisoryareas. If you are in a tsunami advisory area;  * A tsunami with strong waves and currents is possible.  * Waves and currents can drown or injure people who are   in the water.  * Currents at beaches and in harbors, marinas,   bays, and inlets may be especially dangerous.  * Some impacts may continue for many hours to days after   arrival of the first wave.  * The first wave may not be the largest so later waves may   be larger.  * Each wave may last 5 to 45 minutes as a wave encroaches   and recedes.  * Coasts facing all directions are threatened because the   waves can wrap around islands and headlands and into bays.  * Strong shaking or rolling of the ground indicates an   earthquake has occurred and a tsunami may be imminent.  * A rapidly receding or receded shoreline, unusual waves and   sounds, and strong currents are signs of a tsunami.  * The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea,   a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave,   as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND NEXT UPDATE————————————– * Refer to the internet site tsunami.gov for more information.  * Pacific coastal residents outside California, Oregon,   Washington, British Columbia and Alaska should refer to the   Pacific Tsunami Warning Center messages at tsunami.gov.  * This message will be updated within 30 minutes.
