Gold Rule
When to take action
Always follow local government instructions when 地震警戒情報 is issued. Even if the alert seems minor, prepare emergency supplies and secure heavy objects.
Word Origin
Composed of 地震 (jishin, 'earthquake'), 警戒 (keikai, 'vigilance/alert'), and 情報 (jōhō, 'information'). The term emerged in modern disaster management terminology to distinguish between general alerts and urgent warnings.
Usage Notes
Used primarily by Japanese government agencies like the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The information typically includes risk levels and recommended actions, such as evacuation preparation.
