Tsunami Awareness Month in Hawaii events scheduled

Advertiser Staff

Thankfully, yesterday's earthquake on the Big Island didn't generate a tsunami.

Coincidentally, the quake came in the middle of Tsunami Awareness Month in Hawaii — and several events are still on the calendar.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will sponsor keiki activites and provide tsunami preparedness materials at the following locations:

— The Iolani Fair on Friday and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. at the Iolani School campus.

— Molokai Earth Day on Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Mitchell Pauole Community Center.

— Kahala Mall Earth Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

— Ocean Day Hawaii, April 25, at Hilo's Pacific Aquaculture & Coastal Resource Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
