Snowfall has been intensifying in areas affected by a powerful earthquake centered in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, on New Year&#039;s Day.
                
People should take extra caution with quake-damaged buildings that could collapse under the weight of the snow. They should also stay warm to prevent hypothermia amid severe cold.
                
A cold air mass has been bringing snow to Ishikawa Prefecture and other parts of the Hokuriku region as well as Niigata Prefecture.
                
The total snowfall for the 3 hours through 6 a.m. on Monday are 14 centimeters in Yuzawa Town in Niigata Prefecture, 5 centimeters in Himi City in Toyama Prefecture, and 1 centimeter in Suzu City in Ishikawa Prefecture.
                
As of 6 a.m. on Monday, snow accumulation in Ishikawa Prefecture had reached 13 centimeters in Suzu City, 11 centimeters in Nanao City and 9 centimeters in Wajima City.
                
Intense snow is forecast mainly for mountainous areas of the Hokuriku region and Niigata Prefecture until shortly before noon on Monday. Flatlands in the areas could also receive heavy snow.
                
The expected snowfall in Ishikawa Prefecture for the 24 hours through Tuesday morning are 10 centimeters in mountainous areas and 5 centimeters in flatlands.

The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging people in the prefectures to stay on alert for disruptions to transportation systems, damage to agricultural facilities, snow pileup on electrical wires and trees, icy roads and other possible hazards.
                
Overnight lows in Wajima City and other quake-stricken areas dropped to around zero degree Celsius on Monday.
                
People in affected areas should take care to stay warm as their health may not be good amid the deterioration of living conditions.
                
They should inquire after the health of relatives and neighbors or those living in shelters with them. They should also regularly do exercise.
                
In past earthquakes, many people died as evacuees because of disaster-related causes.
                
Seismic activity in the Noto region and surrounding areas has remained active. Quakes with an intensity of 1 or greater on Japan&#039;s scale of zero to 7 occurred more than 1,200 times in the areas from January 1 through 4 a.m. on Monday.
                
The meteorological agency is calling on people in the areas to keep up their guard as quakes with a maximum seismic intensity of 7 could strike again during roughly a week from the New Year&#039;s Day quake.
