Japan’s disaster authorities have ended a week-long “megaquake” warning that kept the nation on edge, though officials stress that seismic risks persist. 🌏🔍
“The special call for attention has ended. But it doesn’t mean the risk has been eliminated,” said Disaster Management Minister Yoshifumi Matsumura during a Thursday press briefing. The alert, triggered by unusual tectonic activity near the Nankai Trough, had raised alarms about a potential magnitude 9.0+ quake and tsunami.
Japan—a global leader in earthquake preparedness—uses real-time tech like early warning apps and AI-driven simulations 🚨📱. While the lifted alert brings relief, experts urge residents to keep emergency kits ready. Remember, Japan’s resilience is like a *Godzilla* plot twist: always expect the unexpected! 🦖✨
For travelers and residents alike: Stay updated via Japan’s J-Alert system and follow local guidelines. Safety first, folks! 🙌🇯🇵
