Japan lifts 'megaquake' warning after one week
Japan has lifted its warning about a potential “megaquake”, one week after it was issued. The warning told people to be alert but not evacuate, saying the probability of a major earthquake was higher than usual but it was not imminent. The Japanese government said it was no longer asking people to take special precautions and they were free to “go back to normal lifestyles”. Following the warning, thousands of Japanese people cancelled planned trips and stocked up on essentials, while some high-speed rail travel was also affected.
