The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the earthquake off Sand Point, Popof Island, which is located in the center of the Alaska Peninsula, at just after 12:30 p.m. local time.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) initially issued a tsunami warning for the majority of the Alaska Peninsula, spanning up into the southern-most part of Alaska's mainland toward Anchorage. The alert was later downgraded to an advisory by 1:50 p.m. local time.

Impacted cities include Cold Bay, Sand Point and Kodiak, the Anchorage National Weather Service shared in an X post on Wednesday afternoon. Impacts may include dangerous coastal flooding and residents are encouraged to move inland and to higher ground.
