Tsunami Advisory Issued for B.C. Coast After Powerful Russian Earthquake

 

                                    A tsunami advisory sign is seen near Wickaninish Beach 
                                    at Pacific Rim National Park near Tofino, B.C., on July 29, 2025.

A powerful magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck near Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, Russia, triggering a tsunami advisory across much of British Columbia’s coastline.

Impacted Areas

Emergency Info BC has issued advisories for:

  • North Coast and Haida Gwaii
  • Central Coast and Northeast Vancouver Island
  • Outer West Coast of Vancouver Island
  • Juan de Fuca Strait, including Greater Victoria

Residents in these zones are urged to:

  • Stay away from beaches, marinas, and shorelines
  • Avoid entering the water
  • Follow instructions from local emergency officials
  • Boat operators should move vessels to deeper waters if safe to do so

Global Ripple Effects

The quake also prompted tsunami warnings and advisories in:

  • Hawaii, where evacuation orders were briefly in effect
  • Japan, which recorded waves up to 40 cm in 16 locations
  • U.S. West Coast, including California and Oregon

Though initial waves in B.C. were relatively small—ranging from 6 to 27 cm—authorities caution that tsunami events can last for hours and involve multiple waves.

Stay Alert

Officials emphasize that a tsunami advisory means strong currents and dangerous wave activity are possible, even without large visible waves. Residents are advised to remain in safe areas until the advisory is lifted.
