Subject: Tsunami Information Statement issued 09/14/2011 at 10:15AM AKDT
At 10:10 AM Alaskan Daylight Time on September 14, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 6.1 occurred 15 miles/24 Km southwest of Attu I., Alaska .
The magnitude is such that a tsunami IS NOT EXPECTED. However, in coastal areas of intense shaking, locally generated tsunamis can be triggered by underwater landslides. This will be the only WCATWC message issued for this event.
The location and magnitude are based on preliminary information. Further information will be issued by the United States Geological Survey or the appropriate regional seismic network.
