SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD  

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance.  

• Always secure doors and windows; do not prop them open.  
• Report any suspicious activity or unauthorized persons immediately. 
• Secure your belongings and don’t leave them unattended. 
• Don’t hold doors open for unknown people to let them enter private, secure areas.

There is a tsunami advisory issued for the entire west coast, including the area surrounding the OIMB Campus in Charleston.  An 8.7 earthquake has been reported off of the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia.

Coos County Emergency Management advises to expect about a foot of wave action starting at about 11:45 p.m., which is close to the time of low tide. Those in the area should stay away from the water and prepare to evacuate to higher ground if necessary.

A tsunami is more than one wave. Stay away from the shoreline until the danger has passed. Listen to local media for information from emergency management authorities.
