COMMUNITY RESPONSE ADVICE FROM THE TASMANIA POLICE

- While major evacuations in these areas are not required, people are advised
to get out of the water and move away from the immediate water's edge of
harbours, coastal estuaries, rock platforms and beaches.

- Boats in harbours, estuaries or shallow coastal water should return to
shore. Secure your boat and move away from the waterfront.

- Vessels already at sea should stay offshore in deep water until further
advised.

- Do not go to the coast to watch the tsunami, as there is the possibility of
dangerous, localised flooding of the immediate foreshore.

- Check that your neighbours have received this advice.

CAUTION:
Tsunami waves are more powerful than the same size beach waves, with the first
wave not necessarily being the largest.

Low-level effects may be observed in neighbouring coastal areas. People are
advised to take care.

The area of Tasmania subject to the Tsunami warning issued by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Tsunami warning passes

HERALD SUN
July 15, 2009 10:20pm
Update 10:20pm: FEARS of a tsunami striking Australian shores have calmed after an earthquake generated only a tiny wave.

The New Zealand quake rumbled the South Island around 7.22pm, prompting tsunami warnings for all low-lying coastal areas from New South Wales to Victoria.

But since over two hours has passed since the earthquake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre believes any sea changes will be small and no tsunami will occur.

The centre reported that the wave generated by the quake is less than 20 centimetres high and poses no threat.

A tsunami marine alert had urged residents to move to higher ground and buildings were evacuated in areas across the pacific.

For Tasmania the Bureau ha earlier issued a warning saying:  "Threatened areas extend from Northern Tip of Flinders Island to Low Rocky Point including Bicheno, Derwent Estuary, Eddystone Point, Flinders Island, Hobart, Low Rocky Point, Maatsuyker Island, Maria Island, Orford, Scamander, St Helens, Storm Bay and Channel, Swansea, Tasman Island and Wineglass Bay."

A spokeswoman for the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology said the chances of a tsunami wave hitting Australia is quite rare.

"We're continuing to monitor and update the situation," she said.

Residents on Lord Howe Island, off the east coast of Australia, had faced the most serious warnings.

There was a threat of flooding and dangerous waves for several hours.

The US Geological Survey says the powerful 7.8-magnitude undersea quake struck west of Invercargill on New Zealand's South Island.

It's believed the epicentre was 161km off the coast of New Zealand's South Island at a depth of 33km.

Police in the town of Tuatapere on South Island, where the earthquake was centred, say they have reports of minor cracks in buildings and stock falling from supermarket shelves.

But they have received no reports of serious damage or injuries so far.

The quake was felt widely across the South Island.
