40 earthquakes M7.6, M6.1, M5.7 occurred in Japan in 2 hours! 300 km tsunami warning Natural disaster 1 January 2024. Japan issues tsunami warning following a series of 21 strong earthquakes. According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency, a sequence of 21 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4.0 or higher struck central Japan within just 90 minutes on Monday. The strongest tremor recorded reached a magnitude of 7.6, causing widespread concern. Earthquakes triggered tsunami warnings, prompting authorities to urge residents to move to higher ground in the affected region. A powerful earthquake occurred in the Ishikawa Prefecture in central Japan. Tsunami warnings were declared in Niigata, Toyama, and Ishikawa prefectures along the Sea of Japan coast. People in these areas are advised to evacuate immediately. Dangerous tsunami waves were possible within 300 kilometers of the earthquake’s epicenter along the Japanese coast. A confirmed tsunami of 1.2 meters height reached the city of Wajima in the Ishikawa Prefecture. However, a much larger tsunami, expected to be five meters high, is anticipated to hit Noto in the same region, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency. The Noto region, located on the coast of the Sea of Japan on the main island of Honshu, experienced a rapid succession of earthquakes starting with a magnitude 5.7 tremor. This was followed by a 7.6 magnitude earthquake at 16:10, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake at 16:18, and shortly after, another 6.2 magnitude earthquake, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. The strongest of these earthquakes prompted broadcasters to switch to special programs, urgently advising affected residents to move to higher ground. In Japan, strict building regulations are in place to ensure structures can withstand strong earthquakes. Regular emergency drills are conducted to prepare for significant seismic activity. The Japanese authorities are closely monitoring the situation and providing updates to the public. Rescue and relief teams are on standby to respond to any emergencies. Evacuation efforts are underway in the warned regions to ensure the safety of residents. Coastal areas are on high alert, as the potential for further seismic activity remains. The Japanese Meteorological Agency continues to assess the risk and issue necessary warnings. International assistance is being coordinated in case the situation escalates. Residents are urged to stay informed through official channels and follow evacuation instructions. Japan remains vigilant as it deals with the aftermath of this seismic event, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and adherence to safety protocols.
