The national tsunami advisory issued after the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia was cancelled early yesterday afternoon.
The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded, triggering fears of a devastating tsunami with more than two million people across the Pacific ordered to evacuate.
The threat is mostly gone but NEMA is warning there could still be strong and unusual currents until Monday and people should be cautious.
