Wewak police warn against false tsunami warnings

This follows an incident early this morning, where Wewak residence were forced to get out of their beds between 4 and 5am after receiving warnings of a Tsunami.

A local had posted online seeking advice on whether there was a known warning from relevant authorities that they were not aware of, which could have triggered this panic in Wewak town.

However East Sepik police Commander, Robert Gesa said that this was an unnecessary move that should have been avoided.
