Today is World Tsunami Awareness Day.

If you are on the coast and feel shaking or get an earthquake early warning alert, you should #DropCoverHoldOn. Wait for shaking to stop. Then evacuate to high ground or inland. A tsunami may be coming!

Learn about #ShakeAlert at usgs.gov/FAQ/BeShakeAlertSafe.
