COAST OF S. ISLAND,  N.Z..    Sea level observations have confirmed a tsunami has been generated.  ADVICE:    People in areas with threat of land inundation and flooding are strongly  advised by emergency authorities to go to higher ground or at least one  kilometre inland.    In areas with a threat to the marine environment only, emergency authorities  advise people to get out of the water and move away from the immediate water’s  edge of harbours, coastal estuaries, rock platforms, and beaches.    Refer to individual State and Territory tsunami warnings and watches issued by  the JATWC for more detailed information.    Listen for any further advice from your local emergency service   Tsunami waves are more powerful than the same size beach waves, with the first  wave not necessarily being the largest.</blockquote>
