Japan’s meteorological agency issued a tsunami advisory on Tuesday morning for a group of remote islands south of Tokyo following a strong earthquake. The offshore quake, measuring 5.9 in magnitude, was not felt by residents on the islands and no reports of damage or injuries have emerged so far.
The Japan Meteorological Agency swiftly issued the tsunami advisory, warning of potential waves up to 1 meter high in the area. The advisory was issued within minutes of the quake occurring, highlighting the agency’s proactive response to potential hazards. While the earthquake itself went unnoticed by those on land, the potential for a tsunami underscores the importance of being prepared for natural disasters, especially in a region known for its seismic activity.
