2026年10月9日，巴拿马附近发生强震后，夏威夷是否面临海啸威胁的问题引发了密切关注。太平洋海啸预警中心（PTWC）最初测定此次地震的震级为8.0级，并警告称海啸波可能波及震中附近的太平洋区域。
Hawaii's tsunami threat was being assessed after a powerful earthquake struck near Panama on October 9, 2026. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) initially reported the earthquake at magnitude 8.0 and warned that tsunami waves could affect parts of the Pacific closer to the quake's location.
KUTV电视台新闻主播海蒂·哈奇在社交平台X上分享了欧胡岛应急管理部门发布的警报信息，她写道：“夏威夷可能面临海啸预警。”不过官方通告指出，目前尚无法确定夏威夷是否会受到海啸影响；该通告仅属于信息提示，并未要求当地居民立即采取行动。
Heidi Hatch, a KUTV news anchor, shared an alert from Oahu Emergency Management on X. Her post read, “Tsunami warning possible Hawaii”.The official notice said it was too early to determine whether Hawaii faced a tsunami threat. It was an information statement, and residents were not asked to take immediate action.

地震及海啸预警详情太平洋海啸预警中心称，2026年10月9日巴拿马附近发生初步测定震级为8.0级的地震。该中心表示，震中附近的太平洋区域确实存在海啸风险，但尚无法确定夏威夷是否也在受影响范围内。此次地震的初步信息如下：日期：2026年10月9日发生时间：夏威夷标准时间上午7点56分地点：巴拿马坐标：北纬7.5度，西经80.8度震级：8.0级（矩震级）据预测，夏威夷最早可能在10月9日周五晚间7点05分面临海啸威胁。不过这一时间仅为初步估算，并不能确定海啸波一定会抵达夏威夷群岛。
The centre said a tsunami threat existed for parts of the Pacific closer to the earthquake, but it was too early to determine whether Hawaii would also be affected. The preliminary earthquake details were:Date: October 9, 2026Origin time: 7:56 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time (HST)Location: PanamaCoordinates: 7.5°N, 80.8°WMagnitude: 8.0 (moment magnitude)The PTWC said the earliest a potential tsunami hazard could begin in Hawaii was estimated at 7:05 p.m. HST on Friday, October 9. This was a preliminary estimate and did not confirm that tsunami waves would reach the islands.
海啸风险波及范围此次巴拿马地震引发的海啸预警还涉及哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、厄瓜多尔、墨西哥等共计7个国家。
夏威夷海啸威胁最新情况夏威夷应急管理局随后证实，巴拿马地震并未对夏威夷构成任何海啸威胁。

在该机构发布于X平台上的帖子中，其公布的地震初步震级为7.6级，较此前预估的8.0级有所下调。该机构声明：“夏威夷目前不存在海啸威胁。”随后又补充道：“根据所有现有数据判断，预计不会出现波及整个太平洋地区的破坏性海啸，夏威夷也并无海啸威胁。”此次更新信息显示，地震发生于2026年10月9日夏威夷标准时间上午7点56分，震中位于北纬7.5度、西经80.8度，靠近巴拿马一带。尽管在官方核实地震数据期间曾有过相关评估，但最新公告明确表明夏威夷并未面临海啸威胁。
In a post on X, the agency reported the earthquake's preliminary magnitude as 7.6, revising the earlier estimate of 8.0. The agency stated: “THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII.”It added: “BASED ON ALL AVAILABLE DATA A DESTRUCTIVE PACIFIC-WIDE TSUNAMI IS NOT EXPECTED AND THERE IS NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO HAWAII.”The update listed the earthquake's origin time as 7:56 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time on October 9, 2026, with coordinates of 7.5°N, 80.8°W and its location near Panama. The latest statement clarified that Hawaii was not under a tsunami threat, despite the earlier assessment while officials reviewed the earthquake data.
