Hongkongers in Japan told to watch out for 'megaquake'

The government on Monday urged Hongkongers in Japan to be careful after the country's authorities warned a "megaquake" was possible. Japanese officials issued their first ever megaquake advisory last Thursday after a 7.1-magnitude quake hit the south of the country. The SAR administration said Hongkongers in Japan should exercise caution, attend to their personal safety and pay attention to announcements on the latest situation. The Security Bureau said it will continue to closely monitor the situation. It urged any Hong Kong residents who need help to contact the Immigration Department or the Chinese Embassy.
