A powerful earthquake struck the eastern part of Taiwan, followed by a tsunami warning issued for some parts of southern Japan. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported the earthquake’s magnitude as 7.4, with its center located 18 km south of Hualien city in Taiwan, at a depth of 34.8 km. Japan’s meteorological agency reported a magnitude of 7.5 for the earthquake.
The earthquake caused extensive damage, shaking southern Japanese islands severely. Many buildings were destroyed in these areas. However, residents were warned not to leave their homes. An anchor on NHK said, “A tsunami is coming, please evacuate immediately.” “Don’t hesitate, don’t go back.” Earthquakes frequently occur in Taiwan as it is located near the junction of two tectonic plates.
In September 1999, Taiwan experienced a magnitude 7.6 earthquake, which resulted in approximately 2,400 fatalities, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in the island’s history. Japan experiences around 1,500 earthquakes each year. Due to advanced construction techniques and strict building regulations, both Japan and Taiwan typically suffer less damage from major earthquakes. Japan has also developed technology to warn and evacuate people when necessary.
