Mass Evacuations Ordered After Massive Earthquake Triggers Tsunami Alerts Across Pacific

By Nishang Narayan

Published on July 30, 2025

A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula early Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific, including Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, and parts of the US West Coast. The quake, reported by the US Geological Survey (USGS), occurred off Russia’s Far East coast and was shallow—making it more dangerous and capable of generating destructive tsunami waves.

Tsunami waves up to 13 feet (4 metres) are feared along Kamchatka’s coastline, prompting mass evacuations in affected regions. Authorities across Russia, Japan, the United States, and other Pacific nations have urged coastal residents to immediately move to higher ground.

Kamchatka Governor Vladimir Solodov described the quake as “the strongest in decades,” confirming structural damage, including at a local kindergarten. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far.

In Severo-Kurilsk, a remote town near Kamchatka, emergency teams swiftly evacuated residents as a precaution. The Sakhalin Governor, Valery Limarenko, confirmed the implementation of emergency protocols.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned that tsunami waves of up to 3 metres (10 feet) could impact the country's eastern coastline between 01:00 and 02:30 GMT. Several coastal towns have already issued evacuation orders. In a significant safety move, workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant—site of the 2011 disaster—were also evacuated. Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) confirmed the evacuation and stated that no abnormalities had been detected at the plant.

In Hawaii, the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management issued strong advisories for residents along the coast, especially in Oahu. In Waikiki, residents and tourists faced long traffic jams as they tried to evacuate areas like Ala Wai Harbor.

While no tsunami waves have been confirmed along the US West Coast yet, authorities in California and Alaska are monitoring the situation closely and have issued precautionary warnings.

Emergency response teams across the Pacific remain on high alert, and aftershocks are expected to follow. Authorities continue to stress the importance of evacuating low-lying coastal areas immediately.
