The Consulate General of India in San Francisco has issued an advisory for Indian citizens after a tsunami alert in several regions of the US.
A powerful 8.7 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia's far east prompted the warning from the US coast to Japan.
In a post on X, the Consulate General said it is monitoring the potential tsunami threat after the earthquake in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.
"Follow Local Alerts: Carefully monitor alerts from US authorities, including local emergency management and the US Tsunami Warning Centres," the Consulate advised the citizens.
It also recommended people to move to higher ground if a tsunami alert is issued and to avoid coastal areas.
The consulate also suggested that Indian citizens prepare for an emergency and keep devices charged. It also issued a helpline number (+1-415-483-6629) for people to contact in case of any emergency.
