Today is California Public Radio Day… that’s cool! 🥰 These are crazy times but we have never felt so grounded in our community… KWMR is more than funding, it’s people who stand up, show up, and speak up to make West Marin community radio work 24/7. Thank you..🙏

To further clarify: Here are the exact definitions used by the NOAA U.S Tsunami Warning System. An *Advisory* means that "strong currents or waves dangerous to those in or very near the water is imminent...*but significant inundation is not expected*." "www.tsunami.gov/?pag...

Tsunami advisory from the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management:

A real problem getting critical alerts to the public over social! (We encourage Marin residents and visitors to tune into KWMR.org via streaming or 90.5/92.3/89.9 FM for timely updates.)

However, with Tsunami Watch in effect, this is not be a good evening to visit the beach or other low-lying coastal spots within 10-15 feet of sea level. If a warning is issued for CA, that will signal the need for localized evacuations of coastal/low lying areas. (TBD for now.)

In terms of threat to California specifically: The threat is still being evaluated, but is potentially significant (hence the Watch). The first waves would not arrive in California until around midnight Pacific Time, however, so there's plenty of time to react if needed.

TSUNAMI ALERT: There is a Tsunami Watch in effect for Marin and the entire West Coast of the US.  There is no need to take any action at this time.  KWMR will continue to monitor. Stay Informed. Stay Safe. Sign Up for AlertMarin: emergency.marincounty.gov/pages/alertm...
