"Beware of earthquakes with a maximum seismic intensity of 6-lower for about a week after the earthquake occurs," the Japan Meteorological Agency holds a press conference, with a maximum seismic intensity of 6-lower in Ehime and Kochi prefectures |
The Japan Meteorological Agency held a press conference at 1:10 a.m. and updated the magnitude, which indicates the scale of the earthquake, from the preliminary value of 6.4 to the provisional value of 6.6 for the earthquake in which extremely strong shaking with a maximum seismic intensity of 6 lower was observed in Ehime and Kochi prefectures. However, it is considered an earthquake with a magnitude below the standard value for investigating the relationship with the Nankai Trough earthquake. Satoshi Harada, Director, Earthquake and Tsunami Monitoring Division, Japan Meteorological Agency: ``In areas where the shaking was strong, please be aware of earthquakes with a maximum seismic intensity of 6-lower for about a week after the earthquake occurs.In particular, large earthquakes are likely to occur over the next few days. There is a lot to do.'' The Japan Meteorological Agency is holding a press conference from 1:10 a.m. Among these, the magnitude, which indicates the scale of the earthquake, has been updated from the preliminary value of 6.4 to the provisional value of 6.6 for the earthquake in which very strong shaking with a maximum seismic intensity of 6 lower was observed in Ehime and Kochi prefectures at 11:14 pm yesterday. Did. In addition, although the earthquake occurred within the assumed epicenter area of the Nankai Trough earthquake, it is considered to be an earthquake below the magnitude standard used to investigate the relationship with the Nankai Trough earthquake. The Japan Meteorological Agency says it will "continue to closely monitor" future seismic activity. On the other hand, in areas where the shaking was strong, people are being asked to be careful about earthquakes with a maximum seismic intensity of 6-lower for about a week after the earthquake, and there are many large-scale earthquakes that will occur, especially over the next few days. I am. We urge everyone to take precautions to protect themselves, such as not entering dangerous areas.
