B.C. tsunami advisory cancelled after magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia

BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, JUL 30 – The earthquake near Kamchatka triggered tsunami advisories across the northern Pacific, with B.C. officials reporting no major damage and wave heights under 30 centimetres, officials said.

  • Wednesday morning, the National Tsunami Warning Centre canceled a tsunami advisory for B.C. coast after monitoring found no significant threat following a massive earthquake near Russia.
  • Following the tremor, tsunami advisories were issued after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck about 135 kilometres southeast of Petropavlovsk, Russia, just before 4:25 p.m. PT.
  • The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration logged wave heights, with maximums of 27 centimetres at Langara Island and 21 centimetres in Tofino.
  • At 6:25 a.m., the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness said no zones of coastal British Columbia are at risk and stood down its operations centre.
  • Despite not escalating to a tsunami warning, Canada’s Earthquake Early Warning system issues alerts via TV, radio, and mobile phones, and the advisory never required evacuation from designated escape routes.
