Chile Tsunami Alert: Mass Evacuations Underway Over Tsunami Fears After 8.8 Quake In Russia

Chile Tsunami: Chile has elevated its tsunami alert to the highest level, just 24 hours after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s Far East. The red alert now covers much of Chile’s 6,400 km Pacific coastline. National emergency authorities have ordered widespread coastal evacuations and suspended school classes. On Easter Island, both tourists and locals have taken shelter at a hilltop church. Additionally, five prisons are being evacuated as part of standard emergency procedures. The nation remains on high alert, with emergency teams working to move people to safer inland or higher ground areas in anticipation of possible tsunami waves. #chile #chiletsunami #chileearthquake#russiaearthquake #russiatsunami #japantsunami #tsunamiwarning #tsunami Subscribe to Financial Express: https://bit.ly/2TN006o The Financial Express (FE) is a business paper that’s closest to the people who are in the business of business.
