10月24日，瓦努阿图附近海域发生7.2级地震，引发海啸预警。瓦努阿图当局现已取消该预警。
An earthquake of 7.2 magnitude off Vanuatu triggered a tsunami warning on October 24. Vanuatu authorities have now canceled this warning.
太平洋海啸预警中心此前表示，“根据初步地震参数……地震震中300公里范围内的海岸可能出现危险的海啸波浪。”
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre had said “Based on the preliminary earthquake parameters... hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts located within 300 KM of the earthquake epicenter.”
这一来自夏威夷监测机构的声明是在瓦努阿图岛国周边海域发生浅层震动之后发布的。美国国家气象局的海啸预警系统表示，美国和加拿大没有威胁。西藏流亡行政中央呼吁地震后保持通讯畅通“最近一次地震，无海啸，无危险。值班科学家于阿拉斯加夏令时间10月23日下午6点31分分析了该事件：瓦努阿图附近，里氏7.2级。”他们在X上写道。
The statement from the Hawaii-based monitor came after the shallow tremors in the waters around the island nation of Vanuatu. The National Weather Service's tsunami warning system noted that there was no threat to the US or Canada. Central Tibetan administration calls for free communication after earthquake“NO tsunami, NO danger from a recent earthquake. Duty Scientists analyzed the event at 6:31pm AKDT Oct 23: M7.2 near Vanuatu,” they wrote on X.What to know of Vanuatu earthquakeThe epicenter of the earthquake was around 200 kilometers or 124 miles north-west of Vanuatu's Port-Olry, as per USGS.
关于瓦努阿图地震需知事项据美国地质调查局称，震中位于瓦努阿图波特奥尔里西北约200公里（124英里）处。虽然最初报告震级为7.2，但美国地质调查局后来将该震动的震级修正为6.9。该机构还报告附近发生了一次里氏6.3级的第二次地震。
While the magnitude was initially said to be 7.2, the USGS later changed the magnitude of the tremor to 6.9. It also reported a second quake of magnitude 6.3 nearby.A map of the area was also shared online.
该地区地图也在网上分享。该天气页面还补充称，“震中200英里范围内可能出现危险的海啸波浪，对瓦努阿图构成海啸威胁。”
The weather page further added “hazardous tsunami waves are possible within 200 miles of the epicenter, posing a tsunami threat to Vanuatu.”
地震在瓦努阿图相对常见，该国是一处低洼群岛，横跨环太平洋构造带。这是一条贯穿东南亚并横跨太平洋盆地的地震活动弧。菲律宾和智利均无海啸威胁由于瓦努阿图地震，菲律宾和智利均无海啸威胁。
Earthquakes are relatively common in Vanuatu, which is a low-lying archipelago straddling the tectonic Ring of Fire. This is an arc of seismic activity that stretches through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin. No tsunami threat to the Philippines, ChileThere is no tsunami threat to either The Philippines or Chile due to the Vanuatu earthquake.
菲律宾当地监测机构表示，“通告：菲律宾无海啸威胁。海啸信息第1号。日期和时间：2026年10月24日，上午10点31分。震级=7.2。深度=10公里。”
智利当局表示，“位于瓦努阿图卢甘维尔西北 247 公里处、震级 7.2 级的地震的特征，不具备在智利海岸产生海啸的必要条件。”
The local monitor in Philippines noted “ADVISORY: NO TSUNAMI THREAT TO THE PHILIPPINES. Tsunami Information No.1. Date and Time: 24 Oct 2026 - 10:31 AM. Magnitude = 7.2. Depth = 010 kilometers. Location = 13.8°S, 165.7°E - Vanuatu”.Authorities in Chile said “the characteristics of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake located 247 kilometers northwest of Luganville, Vanuatu, DO NOT meet the necessary conditions to generate a tsunami on the coasts of Chile.”
瓦努阿图当局最初曾要求民众前往高处避难，随后取消了海啸警报。
他们最初表示：“2026 年 10 月 24 日当地时间下午 1 点 31 分，发生一起震级 7.2 级的地震，震中位于南纬 14.1146 度、东经 165.73 度，距圣托岛卢甘维尔西北约 220 公里。预计瓦努阿图所有沿海地区将出现危险海啸波。国家灾害管理办公室（NDMO）建议瓦努阿图所有沿海地区民众撤离沿海地带，前往高处避难。请民众收听所有广播电台和当地电视台节目。”
随后的一条帖文称：“2026 年 10 月 24 日当地时间下午 1 点 31 分，发生一起震级 7.2 级、震源深度 10 公里的地震，震中位于南纬 14.0080 度、东经 165.5262 度。这距圣托岛西北约 126 公里。根据最新可用的海平面和观测数据，此次地震不再对瓦努阿图沿海地区构成海啸威胁。”
While Vanuatu authorities had initially asked people to move to higher ground, they later canceled the tsunami alert.“At 01:31 pm local time today 24 October 2026, an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 was located at 14.1146 degrees south, 165.73 Degrees East which is about 220 km Northwest from Luganville, Santo. Hazardous tsunami waves are expected along all coastal areas of Vanuatu. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) advises people throughout all coastal areas of Vanuatu to evacuate from coastal areas and to higher grounds. People are advised to listen to all Radio Outlets, and the local television,” they had initially said.A subsequent post read “At 01:31 PM local time on 24th October 2026, an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 and depth 10 kilometers was located at 14.0080 degrees south, 165.5262 degrees east. This is approximately 126 kilometers Northwest of Santo. Based on latest available sea level and observational data, THERE IS NO LONGER TSUNAMI THREAT FROM THIS EARTHQUAKE to the Vanuatu coastal areas.”
