Prime Minister Isiba urged residents of areas where a tsunami threat has been declared to evacuate.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, in connection with the declared tsunami threat along almost the entire east coast of Japan, called on residents in areas where there is a tsunami threat announcement to evacuate to multi-storey buildings.
“At 8.25 , an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula … Residents of areas where a tsunami threat has been declared urgently need to evacuate to a high place or to a multi-storey building. There are cases when the second and third tsunami waves are higher than the first. Therefore, until the announcement of the tsunami threat is lifted, do not leave a safe place,” the Prime Minister said.
The tsunami warning previously announced in Japan has been replaced by a tsunami threat. The estimated wave height was also changed from one meter to three meters. At the same time, even a tsunami height of one meter has sufficient destructive power and poses a threat to life.
A crisis headquarters has been established at the Office of the Prime Minister of Japan.
Meteorologists warn that due to the fact that the earthquake was almost not felt in Japan, people on the beach and at sea may not be aware of the tsunami and urge to notify their loved ones in these areas.
