    1) A tsunami drill was announced off the coast of Iran, with simulated earthquake parameters of magnitude 8.9 at 10 km depth. 2) Monitoring detected a revised magnitude 9.0 earthquake, and sea level gauges confirmed a destructive tsunami was generated. 3) The tsunami warning was subsequently cancelled as sea level readings indicated the threat had passed for most areas after 2 hours with no further damaging waves reported.

    TSUNAMI BULLETIN-01
    Issued at 11:05:00 PST
    National Tsunami Warning Centre (NTWC), Karachi of Pakistan Meteorological Department
    has recorded an Earthquake with the following preliminary seismological parameters:

    Origin time 04-09-2018 at 11:00:00 PST


    Magnitude: ____8.9_______
    Depth: ________10 Km_____
    Latitude: ______24.8º N______
    Longitude: ____58.2 º E___
    Location: _Off Coast of Iran
    EVALUATION:
    . Based on the historical data, earthquakes of this size may cause wide-spread inland damages
    and Destructive Tsunami generation in the Arabian Sea and along coastline of Pakistan.
    However, it is not known that a tsunami has been generated. This bulletin is based only on the
    earthquake evaluation. Monitoring of Sea Level Gauges is under way to determine if a tsunami
    has been triggered. People in coastal areas of BALOCHISTAN are STRONGLY ADVISED
    TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY to higher grounds or go far inland. People in rest of coast
    are advised to standby for evacuation. Boats and Ships at sea are advised to stay in the deeper
    parts of the sea until the threat is over. If there is sufficient time, boats and ships in harbors and
    bays are advised to go to the deeper parts of the sea until the threat is over.

    UPDATES
    Additional bulletins will be issued by NTWC, Karachi for this event as more information
    becomes available.

    National Tsunami Warning Centre (NTWC) of Pakistan Meteorological Department has
    recorded an Earthquake with the following preliminary seismological parameters:

    EVALUATION: It has not been confirmed whether Tsunami has been generated or not. Based
    on the historical data, earthquakes of this size may cause wide-spread inland damages and
    Destructive Tsunami generation in the Arabian Sea and along coastline of Pakistan. This bulletin
    is based only on the earthquake evaluation. Monitoring of Sea Level Gauges is under way to

    STRONGLY ADVISED TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY to higher grounds or go far

    sea are advised to stay in the deeper parts of the sea until the threat is over. If there is sufficient
    time, boats and ships in harbors and bays are advised to go to the deeper parts of the sea until the
    threat is over.

    SIMULATION RESULTS:
    According to pre-run scenarios estimated initial tsunami wave arrival times and amplitude of the
    maximum tsunami wave, at the various locations are given below. However, actual wave arrival
    times and maximum amplitude may differ from those below, and the initial wave may not be the
    largest. A tsunami is a series of waves and the time between successive waves can be five
    minutes to one hour.

    Evaluation:
    The sea level readings indicate that the threat is over for most of the area. Therefore, the
    Tsunami warning, issued by this centre, is now cancelled. For any affected area, where no major
    waves have occurred for at least 2 hours, after the estimated arrival time or damaging waves
    have not occurred for 2 hours, the local authority may assume that the threat has passed.

    "All Clear" decision must be made by local authorities.
