Japan: Tsunami alert issued after earthquake in Philippines
A tsunami warning has been issued for Japan’s western Pacific coast after a significant earthquake struck the Philippines, the Japan Meteorological Agency said in response Saturday. The tsunami is estimated to be 1 meter high and moving rapidly toward Japan, and could reach landfall as early as 1:30 a.m. Saturday, according to public broadcaster NHK.
The risk of tsunami has increased in Japan after the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines. According to local administrative officials, tsunami waves can reach a height of up to 1 meter.
To promote safety measures following the arrival of the tsunami, local authorities have advised people to remain alert and stay away from coastal areas. Citizens have been requested to follow the tsunami warning session first and move to safe places quickly.
There is a possibility of a tsunami off the west coast of Japan and citizens are urged to remain alert and follow instructions from local authorities.
The tsunami threat in Japan following the Philippines earthquake has prompted people to remain vigilant, while local authorities have sent a strong message to promote necessary safety measures.
