As this is an emergency, here is a quoted summary of the key points:
・Evacuating to higher ground is the top priority!
・Tsunamis are life-threatening. If you are near the coast or river mouths, evacuate immediately.
・Tsunamis are different from regular waves due to their long wavelength. They are far more destructive than short waves, and even a tsunami of just 10 cm in height can knock you off your feet and sweep you away.
・Evacuating as quickly as possible is crucial. You can recover belongings, but you cannot recover your life.
— Even if you cannot see the tsunami, do not let your guard down and head for higher ground.
— Do not stop or look back.
— Call out to those around you while evacuating.
