Japan lifts megaquake warning after one week
ai generated text
The Japanese government has decided to lift a week-old warning about a potential "megaquake" that could strike the country. The warning, which was issued after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Miyazaki prefecture on August 8, prompted thousands of people to cancel their holidays and stock up on essentials. The Japanese government has stated that it is no longer asking people to take special precautions, and disaster management minister Yoshifumi Matsumura has said that the people of Japan are free to return to their normal lifestyles.
But it doesn't mean the risk (of a major earthquake) has been eliminated.
The people of Japan are free to go back to normal lifestyles.
We ask (people) to continue to be mindful of these daily precautions and remain vigilant for a megaquake that can happen anytime, anywhere.
