Due to the 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia, the National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami Advisory that includes San Francisco. A Tsunami Advisory means strong, dangerous currents are expected to impact San Francisco beaches, harbor and marina docks, and finger piers in shoreline areas. Dangerous currents are expected to begin at 12:40am tonight (7/30) and may last for many hours. San Francisco's public safety agencies are working together to evaluate whether the evacuation of shoreline areas is necessary, and will send out additional alerts as soon as possible. For guidance and the tsunami hazard map, visit sf.gov/tsunami.

⚠️TSUNAMI ADVISORY remains in effect for the California coast. Stay away from the water! Stay away from beaches and waterways! Remember: Tsunamis are series of waves carrying large masses of water. The first wave may not be the largest! Do NOT go to the coast!! #CAwx #Tsunami
A Tsunami Advisory remains in effect for the California coast, including all coastal regions in the Bay Area and Central Coast, due to an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Kamchatka. Remember that a tsunami is a series of waves carrying a large mass of water. This will NOT be a single wave, and the first wave might not be the largest. Even if wave heights are low, dangerous and powerful currents are possible in the ocean and at the beach. Stay away from the water! Stay away from beaches and waterways! Remain away from shore until local officials say that it is OK to return. Do NOT try to go to the coast to take photos! You will not just put yourself at risk, you will put the people who have to rescue you at risk. Estimated time of arrival is 12:15 AM on July 30 at Monterey and 12:40 AM on July 30 at San Francisco.

110 years ago, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. They became known as Anzacs. Today, we remember them, and all those who have served Australia in times of peace and war. #LestWeForget #ANZAC
