據中國駐日本大使館網站4月14日消息，日本是地震多發國家。去年8月位於南海海槽西端的宮崎縣發生7.1地震，日本政府發佈了“巨大地震提醒”。據日本媒體報導，3月31日，日本政府公佈最新南海海槽大地震風險評估報告，將未來30年日本發生南海海槽大地震的概率從70%提升至80%，稱地震可能波及西起沖繩、東至福島的廣大區域，導致29.8萬人死亡，造成1.8萬億美元經濟損失。

The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Japan reminds compatriots in Japan to take precautions against earthquake disasters:

1. Earnestly enhance awareness of prevention, timely understand and master the knowledge of earthquake self-rescue, and appropriately reserve emergency supplies such as drinking water, food, and disaster prevention and first-aid supplies.

2. Pay close attention to earthquake dynamics, meteorological warnings and disaster prevention information through television, the Internet, radio, etc., and use mobile phone apps to set up disaster reminders, so as to evacuate as soon as a disaster occurs.

3. After a disaster, only in the evacuation shelter can we have stable access to basic guarantees such as food, rest, and communication. It is recommended to check the information of nearby evacuation sites in advance, follow the prevention and evacuation instructions issued by the local government, and move to a safe area such as an evacuation center as soon as possible.

4. Actively carry out "overseas citizen registration" through the "Chinese Consular APP" or the WeChat "Chinese Consul" mini program, so as to contact and receive assistance in a timely manner in the event of a disaster.

5. Considering the relevant factors, it is recommended to make safe arrangements for traveling and studying in Japan, and carefully choose to purchase real estate.
