How to interpret a tsunami alert in Albania
Competent national authority
The hub is available, but GDE does not yet have a specific operational national source integrated for this country.
National priority
When an official national assessment exists, it takes priority for that country over regional or international sources.
No inference
EarthSentra does not automatically turn an undersea earthquake or a regional bulletin into a national alert.
In an emergency, follow evacuation orders and official channels from local authorities. EarthSentra is an information service and does not replace official warning systems.
Recorded tsunamis in Albania: historical record
When there is not a sufficient selection of major historical tsunamis, EarthSentra shows the documented tsunami records available for Albania without overstating their impact.
| Date | Event / location | Cause | EQ mag. | Max run-up | Deaths |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1866-01-02 | ALBANIAN COASTS | Questionable Earthquake | M6.6 | — | 60 |
| 1866-03-06 | BAY OF VLORE | Earthquake | M6.3 | — | — |
| 1911-02-18 | OCHRIDA LAKE | Earthquake | M6.7 | — | — |
NOAA/NCEI does not provide a sufficient selection of major historical tsunamis for Albania; EarthSentra therefore shows the 3 country-origin tsunami records available in the certified catalog without automatically presenting every record as a major disaster.
