Tonga earthquake: Island hit by 7.1 quake days after Myanmar | World | News

The Foreign Office has just updated its travel advice for Tonga, the Cook Islands, Tokelau and Niue.

On Tonga, the Foreign Office advises anyone on low-lying coastal areas to move immediately to higher ground or inland.

It urged people to follow evacuation routes and emergency instructions from local authorities and not to return until an official “all clear” message is given by The Tonga National Disaster Risk Management Office.

For the other territories, the Foreign Office said “minor” sea level fluctuations may occur in some coastal areas, including Nieu.

It added: “Remain observant and exercise normal caution near the sea. Follow instructions and advice from local authorities.”
