Is there a tsunami alert for Hanoi today? What each alert level means
The live status above is the current answer: it reflects official tsunami products in DisasterAWARE’s feed within 300 km of Hanoi, checked every 15 minutes. Official alerts are issued only after an earthquake or other triggering event is detected; no warning centre forecasts a tsunami days in advance, so a message predicting one for a future date is not an official alert.
Tsunami Warning
Dangerous coastal flooding and powerful currents are possible or already occurring. Move inland or to high ground as directed by local authorities.
Tsunami Advisory
Strong currents or waves dangerous to people in or near the water are expected. Stay off beaches and out of harbours and marinas; widespread flooding is not expected.
Tsunami Watch
A distant earthquake may have generated a tsunami and the threat is being evaluated. Stay alert for an upgrade to a warning or advisory, or a cancellation.
Tsunami Information Statement
An earthquake occurred but either no tsunami threat exists or the event is too far away to affect this coast. No action is needed.
These are the United States tiers used by the National and Pacific Tsunami Warning Centers. Other centres use their own scales: India’s INCOIS issues Warning, Alert and Watch levels, and Japan’s JMA issues a Major Tsunami Warning, Tsunami Warning and Tsunami Advisory. DisasterAWARE aggregates the official centres.
