tsunami warning australia
Australia and New Zealand have been removed from the tsunami warning lis
Tsunami warning also lifted from New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan.
People along tsunami warning australia s east coast are being warned to stay away from beaches this morning as a tsunami heads our way.
The alert follows a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake which hit off the coast of Chile in the middle of the night toppling buildings, cutting power and killing at least 150 people.
The Marquesas islands, northeast of Polynesia, were hit between 7:00 and 8:00 am by a series of two-metre waves which damaged some boats but no one was hurt, officials said.
Tsunamis generally come in several waves of which the first may not be the highest.
The weather bureau here said tsunami waves could start affecting Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands around 9am (AEDT) followed by coastal New South Wales and Queensland.
Officials are warning of dangerous waves, strong ocean currents and possible foreshore flooding, meaning no fishing, no swimming, no boating and no sight-seeing.
The Australian Government has committed $68.9M over four years to establish an Australian Tsunami Warning System by 2009. This includes:
No longer on the tsunami warning list: Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan
Establishment of the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC) with 24/7 monitoring and analysis capacity for tsunami warning australia;
The upgrade and expansion of sea-level and seismic monitoring networks around Australia and in the Indian and South West Pacific Oceans;
Implementation of national education and training programmes about tsunami;
Assistance to the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) in developing the existing Pacific Tsunami Warning & Mitigation System (PTWS) and establishing an Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning & Mitigation System (IOTWS); and technical assistance to help build the capacity of scientists, technicians, and emergency managers in South-West Pacific and Indian Ocean countries.
Tsunami watches remained in effect as far away as Japan and the Philippines after the US Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed a tsunami was generated that could potentially impact the US west coast, British Columbia and Alaska.
