The National Multi Hazard Early Warning Center has requested the public to follow precautionary measures to avoid the dangers of the sea during its rampage. They have advised to postpone tourism tours and trips as well as any marine activity until the sea conditions improve as the wave height can cause small boats to capsize. They have also urged to follow up on the weather and specifically sea conditions before venturing out.
