The UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) has released a preliminary field report on the Samoan earthquake and tsunami of 29 September 2009. This report represents the preliminary findings from the event and disseminates the factual findings from the mission, including photographs and other exhibits. Further research on the findings will be published in due course by EEFIT members in peer‐reviewed journals which may also compare these findings with observations from the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.
