Only a few hours into 2024 (in my time zone), and Japan has experienced tons of earthquakes followed by the most urgent tsunami warning since 3/11.

I am terrifed.

I hate 2024 already. Please take it back.

For those concerned (and know Japanese), here's the livestream I'm watching. Rn it's essentially, "flee for your lives, while you still can!"

If you for whatever reason are living along the affected areas of the west coast of Japan rn and are bumming on tumblr instead of listening to the news, evacuate, NOW.

A magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck off the coast of central Japan on Nov 26, 2024.

Seems the aftershocks of not more than magnitude-5.0 continued on Nov 27 and 28. Some friends in Osaka and Kyoto say their hotels swayed for a while. Although the epicenter is far away, the tremors are felt in Kansai.

What to do in Earthquakes when you are traveling in Japan :

Before Earthquake

Download an earthquake early warning app, Safety Tips app provided by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).

Locate the staircase or emergency exit of your hotel.

Put essentials in your backpack, flashlight, batteries, phone charger, power bank, water bottle, cash, medicine (if any).

During Earthquake

Drop down low for stability and reduce risk of falling; Cover your head from falling items; and Hold onto something.

If you are inside, do not go outside as there may be falling debris.

If you are outside, stay clear from buildings, trees, and utility wires.

Never use elevators during or after an earthquake.

If you’re in public transportation, follow the locals and authorities.

When near the coast, immediately find higher ground and remain there until you have been notified that there is no tsunami risk.

After Earthquake

Wear shoes to protect your feet from broken glasses / mirrors.

Avoid turning on electrical switches.

Approach the hotel staffs and follow their instructions.

If you require aid, call the number 199.

Avoid using a car and evacuate on foot if possible.

Do not use elevators. Evacuate via the stairs if possible.

Free Public Wi-Fi '00000JAPAN' Available During Disasters

Based on the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, Japan has promoted activities to make public wireless LANs available free of charge in the event of a disaster.

But, don't worry! These steps are usually for MAJOR quakes!

Most earthquakes in Japan are quite minor and can even happen without you noticing. Japan has plenty of experience with this, so most modern buildings there have been designed to be resistant to earthquakes and their early-warning systems are state-of-the-art.

The JNTO has an online tool that provides tourists with advice based on their circumstances depending on what kind of emergency you’re experiencing, including earthquakes. It also features some useful Japanese phrases to help with communication in an emergency.
