Hawaii remains under tsunami warning, sirens to sound at 6 a.m.
Staff
The state Department of Transportation is urging all shipping agents and shipping companies to get their ships out of port this morning following an anticipated 6 a.m. tsunami warning.
One cruise ship is scheduled to arrive in Honolulu Harbor for refueling this morning but is scheduled to leave before 6 a.m., DOT spokeswoman Tammy Mori said.
Harbor police are also physically notifying harbor tenants about the warning.
The DOT's harbors, airports and highways divisions are all preparing for the possibility of a tsunami, Mori said.
Mori encouraged people to stay off roads to let those in tsunami evacuation zones evacuate — if necessary, Mori said.
If the tsunami warning alarms sound at 6 a.m., "we are urging people not to panic," Mori said. "It's important that those in low-lying areas can get to higher ground. We want to remind people that they have five hours to evacuate after the alarms sound."
Flight operations currently are not affected, Mori said.
But all DOT vehicles at Hawaii airports have been fueled and extra staff are on alert in case a tsunami hits, she said.  |
