Overview
- An 8.8-magnitude undersea earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
- Hawaii and Japan downgraded tsunami warnings to advisories by July 31 after monitoring confirmed wave impacts remained below damaging levels.
- Disney’s Aulani Resort instructed guests to move to floors three and above during the warning and later informed them they could return to normal areas while avoiding the water.
- Hawaii’s siren system sounded hourly to alert residents and visitors, and Japan’s Meteorological Agency had issued alerts for the entire eastern coast, including Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo Disney Resort.
- No injuries or damage have been reported at Disney properties, though airports, ports and coastal services in affected regions remain under review as authorities continue to assess conditions.
