TOKYO: (Bernama) An advisory regarding the increased risk of another strong earthquake was lifted at midnight Monday (Dec 15), following a magnitude 7.5 temblor that rattled northern and northeastern Japan a week ago, Kyodo News reported.
While residents are no longer asked to remain on alert to evacuate at a moment's notice, the government continues to urge them to take disaster-preparedness measures, including stockpiling emergency supplies.
