Disaster Preparedness, Earthquake Safety & Emergency Response: 9.1 Magnitude Earthquake Triggers Massive Tsunami
A 9.1 magnitude earthquake has struck, triggering not only widespread shaking but also a large tidal wave (tsunami) that is already affecting coastal areas. Authorities have issued emergency alerts, and disaster response teams are mobilizing to prevent casualties.
Seismologists note that earthquakes of this magnitude can cause severe structural damage, disrupt critical infrastructure, and create long-term risks for public safety and urban planning. Coastal residents are advised to follow evacuation orders, stay informed through official emergency channels, and avoid rumor-based reports circulating on social media.
