Warden Message

This Warden Message alerts U.S. citizens traveling to or residing on the
Pacific coast of Mexico of a tsunami wave which is anticipated to hit
the northern part of the Pacific coast starting at 8:50 am PST on March
11, 2011. A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean near
Northeastern Japan at around 14:46 pm JST on March 11, causing damage
with blackouts, fire and tsunami. The large earthquake triggered a
tsunami warning for countries all around the Pacific ocean.

There is a general tsunami warning for the entire Mexican Pacific coast.
Mexican Civil Protection recommends avoiding the beaches and remaining
indoors. The Port Authority has closed the Port of Puerto Vallarta as a
precautionary measure until further notice. The U.S. Consulate General
urges American citizens to monitor local media sources for additional
information.



According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
<http://www.noaa.gov/> , "sea level readings confirm that a tsunami
has been generated which could cause widespread damage…A tsunami is
a series of waves and the first wave may not be the largest. Tsunami
wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a
coast due to local effects. The time from one tsunami wave to the next
can be five minutes to an hour, and the threat can continue for many
hours as multiple waves arrive. When no major waves are observed for
two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not
occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the
threat is passed. Danger to boats and coastal structures can continue
for several hours due to rapid currents. As local conditions can cause
a wide variation in tsunami wave action, the all clear determination
must be made by local authorities."



NOAA anticipates that the waves will arrive at the following local
times:



Ensenada: 8:50 PST

Punta Abreojos: 10:38 MST

Cabos San Lucas: 11:15 MST

Socorro: 11:25 MST

Mazatlan: 12:04 MST

Nuevo Vallarta: Between 12:04 and 12:30 MST

Puerto Vallarta: Between 13:04 and 13:30 CST

Manzanillo: 13:30 CST

Acapulco: 14:05 CST

Puerto Madero: 15:40 CST



In case of an emergency, please contact Mexican Civil Protection at
01-800-004-1300.
