This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Chako, did you see the recent earthquake news? There was a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Mexico. It was a big shake, but it seems there wasn’t a tsunami in Japan.
Chako: Really?! Even with such a big earthquake, there was no tsunami? I wonder why.
Navi: It’s thought that the risk of a tsunami was low because the earthquake’s epicenter was far from the ocean.
Log: That’s right. So there wasn’t much to worry about in Japan. But it’s still important to be prepared for earthquakes.
Chako: Yeah, we definitely need to be prepared! What should we get ready?

Admin’s Note

I was relieved to hear that there was no tsunami impact from the M7.4 earthquake that occurred in Mexico. However, being prepared for disasters is always important. As Chako mentioned, confirming evacuation methods and stockpiling food can be very helpful in times of need. We also need to raise our awareness about disaster preparedness on a daily basis. Moving forward, I want to stay attentive to the latest disaster information and ensure that we do not neglect our preparations.
