Natural Disaster
Japan is prone to earthquakes. If the epicentre of a major earthquake
is in the sea,
it could
trigger a tsunami. An
earthquake early warning is issued when an earthquake of intensity 5 or higher
occurs, which
is likely to cause
significant damage. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) website provides
information on
earthquakes and disasters.
