No tsunami concern <br /> <br />This is a Civil Defense Message for Tuesday, May 15 at 7pm. <br /> <br />The Hawaii Civil Defense Agency has received several inquiries from media and the public <br />asking about the potential for a tsunami to affect other counties. This is a false message being <br />spread. <br /> <br />According to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory there is no geologic evidence for an tsunami- <br />generating earthquake at this time. Any such event is extremely unlikely. <br /> <br />The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and other county, state <br />and federal partners continue to monitor the volcanic and seismic activity. We will inform you <br />of any conditions that affect your safety. <br /> <br />Status of Kilauea volcano can be found at http://volcanoes.usgs.gov. <br /> <br />Please sign up for the latest alerts and official information through the Hawaii County Civil <br />Defense Agency website: www.hawaiicounty.gov/active-alerts <br /> <br />Thank you for listening. Have a safe day. This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense. <br />
