The Japan Meteorological Agency monitors tsunami incidents
On January 1, 2024 Japan experienced a powerful earthquake that registered 8.1 on the Richter scale and caused widespread destruction throughout the country.
This natural disaster was an example of seismic activity due to shifting tectonic plates which resulted in an epicenter located off the coast of Hokkaido Island.
The quake triggered a tsunami that further exacerbated damage from collapsed buildings and other structures as well as caused casualties among people caught up in it all.
Emergency response teams were mobilized for rescue operations while evacuation efforts began immediately aftershocks continued to occur over time following the initial quake, leading seismology experts to caution against complacency with regards to preparedness for future earthquakes or tsunamis alike .
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami emergency alert for coastal areas in western Japan.
Eight minutes later, a strong aftershock force measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck western Japan, for the first time in the region's imaging of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake, according to the US National Survey.
The 6.2-magnitude aftershock at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles) occurred at 4:18 p.m. local time about 4 kilometers (2.4 miles) southwest of Anamizu in Ishikawa Prefecture.
In addition, relief efforts have been put into place by both government agencies and private organizations providing assistance with rehabilitation services such as rebuilding homes destroyed by this disaster.. Lastly, public awareness campaigns are being conducted throughout Japan regarding proper emergency response measures should another large-scale event like this one occur again in order for citizens there can be better protected going forward
