Experts warned that a similar magnitude of aftershock could occur following a 7.3 earthquake off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
The Japanese government’s Earthquake Investigation Committee said at an extraordinary meeting that it is necessary to watch out for earthquakes with a maximum intensity of about one week.
The magnitude of the six rivers is the same as the current Fukushima earthquake, and the ground can be split or a large-scale landslide can occur.
The Earthquake Investigation Committee also called for a check on the tsunami preparedness, saying that there is a possibility of a large-scale earthquake occurring in the future in or around the area covered by the aftershocks of the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in March 2011, including offshore Fukushima Prefecture. .
The committee explained that a 20cm tsunami was observed at Ishinomaki Port in Miyagi Prefecture.
According to Kyodo News, Naoshi Hirata, an emeritus professor at Tokyo University, who is the chairman of the Earthquake Investigation Committee, pointed out that the long-term seismic activity in this area is likely to cause strong shakes in both the boundary and interior of the tectonic plate and cause a high tsunami.
