Emergency Message for U.S. Citizens:Tsunami Warning in Northeastern Japan
The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo warns U.S. citizens in coastal areas of Northeastern Japan that the Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a Tsunami warning for Fukushima Prefecture, the Pacific Coast of Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture and the Kujukuri and Sotobo Area of Chiba Prefecture. The Tsunami Warning follows a powerful earthquake that struck off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture just after 6:00 AM Japan Standard Time. The text of the current warning is available herehttp://www.jma.go.jp/en/tsunami/. The predicted size of the wave is between one and three meters, with the largest wave expected along the coast of Fukushima Prefecture.
Persons in coastal regions under the Tsunami Warning should evacuate immediately from coastal regions and riverside areas to a safer place such as high ground or an evacuation building. Tsunami waves are expected to hit repeatedly. Do not leave safe ground until the warning is lifted. All U.S. citizens living in or traveling to the area should monitor local weather reports, follow directions from local officials, and take other appropriate actions as needed.
The Embassy is monitoring the situation and will provide further information as it becomes available.
