A tsunami warning is in effect for the coastal areas of Cook Inlet and the southern Kenai Peninsula. Expected arrival times are 9:25 AM in Kodiak, 9:30 AM in Seward and 11:45 AM in Homer.

State Of Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's Jeremy Zidek says there is no immediate threat to Anchorage. However, in the event of aftershocks, drop cover and hold on, he said, as aftershocks may be more powerful than the original earthquake.

"We must be vigilant in the next few days and months," he stated. "Drop, cover and hold on."
