Japan Meteorological Agency says an expert panel investigated possible links between a strong tremor on Monday and a mega-quake that is expected to strike the Nankai Trough in seas off central through southwestern Japan. It later concluded that special precautionary measures are not needed.
                
A Nankai Trough quake is predicted to occur along the plate boundary between Suruga Bay off Shizuoka Prefecture and the Hyuganada Sea off Miyazaki Prefecture.
                
The Japanese government&#039;s Earthquake Research Committee estimates there is a 70 to 80 percent chance that a magnitude 8 to 9 quake will hit within the next three decades.
                
The latest government estimate says that in the worst-case scenario, a Nankai Trough quake could claim more than 230,000 lives, and destroy about 2 million buildings.
                
Later Monday night, Japan Meteorological Agency said experts had finished assessing the possibility of a Nankai Trough massive earthquake, and concluded that special precautionary measures are not needed.
                
An agency official, Tsukada Shinya, said the latest earthquake was not a phenomenon that could be considered to have increased the possibility of a Nankai Trough earthquake occurring compared to normal times.
                
Tsukada said the magnitude they analyzed was not bigger than the one for which they would issue a special advisory to take precautions.
                
But the official said it is important to be aware that earthquakes could occur at any time and people should be prepared for earthquakes on a daily basis.
