Tsunami and volcanic alerts

Before you follow Tsunami and volcanic alerts, you must be made aware that as of this *moment, no actual live feed of Tsunami warnings exist in this form. What SWAS has created to overcome this is SWAS captures all earthquakes reported over 7.0 on the Richter magnitude scale and displays a tweet that is prefaced with "Potential Tsunami?" and a link to more details on the quake.

When you see this warning, and it will not occur very often we assure you, you should check to see the exact location of the earthquake. If the earthquake has occurred offshore of where you live, you should check other sources immediately to see if a Tsunami warning has been announced.

You may now select Tsunami and volcanic alerts from the tab on the menu above.

*On 05/24/09 SWAS added an experimental feed for Tsunamis which was obtained from NOAA.
