O Japan suspended all alerts tsunami activated after a powerful earthquake on New Year’s Day. Sources linked to local authorities say that small changes in tide levels are still possible. The earthquake that shook central Japan this Monday led the population to flee to higher areas. However, people were left behind. According to police in the region, there are at least six deaths due to the earthquake. Two of them were confirmed on Monday night, 1, in Brazil (Tuesday morning, 2, in Japan), by members of Ishikawa City Hall. The government reported that no consequences were detected at the country’s nuclear plants. In Ishikawa and neighboring Toyama and Niigata, around 33,500 homes were left without electricity. Many houses collapsed in the city of Suzu, according to reports. The damage caused by the earthquake mainly affected old houses, which tend to be made of wood.
