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!

We just added two new wildfire cameras in the Columbia River Gorge! #FieldworkFriday
The Stacker and Juniper cameras are in WA so they can spot fires on both sides of the river. Thanks Klickitat PUD for hosting them!
Live feeds will be available soon on ALERTWest.live and the @watchduty.org app.

It's International ShakeOut Day! Take a moment at 10:16 a.m. (local time) to practice your “Drop, Cover, and Hold On."
If you live in an earthquake-prone region, it isn’t a question of if, but when an earthquake will occur. Be sure to make a plan and be prepared!

Recent @Mariners games have been shaking things up enough for our seismometers to notice but those waves are all in good fun. It's a great reminder that real quakes can happen anytime. Join us tomorrow (10/16) for @ShakeOut and practice what to do when the ground really moves.
