How to interpret a tsunami alert in Fiyi
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.

Tsunamis in Fiji: coastal exposure
Fiji is located within a complex southwest Pacific tectonic region; strong offshore earthquakes, including events in neighboring subduction zones, may generate tsunamis affecting exposed coasts.
Historical records versus active warnings
EarthSentra provides context about observed events, not an official evacuation order. An offshore earthquake does not always generate a tsunami, and an empty monitor does not confirm that a coastline is safe.
Recognizing natural warnings
After strong or prolonged coastal shaking, immediately leave beaches, harbors and river mouths for higher ground or inland. Follow local evacuation routes; tsunami waves may continue for hours. Check the responsible national disaster agencies and Tsunami.gov, as well as the global monitor.
