Tsunami-scare triggers panic in Calbayog City | Inquirer News

MANILA, Philippines – Following the devastation caused by super typhoon “Yolanda” (international name Haiyan), residents of Calbayog City on Tuesday panicked and fled their homes after hearing rumors that a tsunami will hit the city, Radyo Inquirer 990AM said.

Radio reporter Ricky Brozas said his relatives from Calbayog City in Samar, among the hardest-hit areas by the typhoon, reported people running towards higher ground.

“People are out on the roads, carrying their possessions and heading towards higher ground,” he said.

On Twitter, netizens were asking government agencies if the tsunami alert was true.

One user asked the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), “In Calbayog City, Western Samar. There’s report of tsunamis and vehicles w/ sirens are now patrolling, alerting everyone.”

Phivolcs later posted, “As of 1:00 PM November 12, 2013, Phivolcs did not issue a tsunami warning for Samar or for any other part of the country. No threat of tsunami exists for the Philippines as of the time of release of this message.”

At the height of typhoon “Yolanda,” storm surges at least 5 meters high ravaged affected coastal areas. People likened the storm surge to a tsunami, engulfing houses and other structures in its path.

One dead in false tsunami alert | Manila Bulletin | Latest Breaking News | News Philippines

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – A 49 year-old woman died due to a heart attack after a false tsunami alert along the coastal areas in this city and nearby Sarangani province.

Rene Punzalan, Sarangani provincial disaster risk reduction management officer, said Maria Luisa Robles, whose husband, Mario, works at the provincial capitol, succumbed to heart stroke after residents in Barangay Kawas, a coastal village in Alabel town scampered in panic following reports of a tsunami circulated in the area at dawn Saturday.

Punzalan said residents within the coastal areas of the province had panicked after they noticed an unusual occurrence of a low tide of the sea water on Friday.

Due to this phenomenon, scary text messages of a possible tsunami had circulated which prompted villagers in the coastal areas of the province to panic and evacuate.

Sarangani officials said the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) denied it had issued a tsunami alert within Sarangani Bay.

“We had inquired with the Philvolcs officials in Manila who told us that there was no veracity on a possible tsunami to hit Sarangani province,” Gov. Steve Solon said.

The governor said Phivolcs confirmed a moderate tectonic movements within the area of responsibility of Indonesia but it will not trigger a tsunami.

He said residents in the province were just reacting adversely to such reports of a possible tsunami, though unconfirmed, following the deadly devastation wrought by Supertyphoon Yoland in central Visayas region.
