Bumping this up, but the Tokyo Metropolitan government is conducting drills with expats on what to do when the big one hits one, since not everyone may have conversational Japanese skills.

CNN coverage of the earthquake at Noto Peninsula.
Japanese media is reporting that American assistance is being accepted for SAR ops in the Noto Peninsula.
There is reports of Taiwan and China willing to help; they're declined for now.
Well seems like fake news is coming out of the Noto Earthquake on the claims that North Korea caused the earthquake; there's a black ops weapon used to cause the earthquake.
I had heard talk of misinformation that it was man-made, but that's depressing all the same.
It's been fun.
Yeah. Even worse is that some trolls out there get some fake SOS message out there to a location that doesn't exist.

One recent example is the Soma mine disaster in Turkey, where an explosion and subsequent fire led to 301 casualties. The incident raised concerns about safety conditions, as workers had previously voiced apprehensions. Notably, a recent vote against investigating the mine's conditions adds complexity to the situation. While tragedies like these demand discussion, it's essential to maintain a focused and civil discourse, avoiding the blame game or political debates. This approach allows for a more constructive examination of the root causes and potential preventive measures to mitigate future disasters.

Sadly, I'm hearing more misinformation going around, not to mention some certain media outlet making clickbaits/sensations about the earthquake in Noto.

Xiao Chenghao from Hainan (he works at Hainan Broadcasting Group) was investigated for making inappropriate comments on his Weibo account, calling the earthquake a form of "retribution" over the Fukushima wastewater discharge.
Looks like Japan may pass legal revisions in their laws calling for social media outlets to delete content that are defematory and/or misleading.

Reported news of a M6.6 quake in western Japan.
A place for us to discuss physical disasters, whether natural or manmade, that do not arise out of any intent to cause harm but do so anyway.
One thing before we start: these discussions tend to easily spiral into politics. When questions like "Who is to blame?" or "Why is the relief effort going so slowly?" are asked, I trust everyone to keep it strictly on-topic and civil. Thank you.
Let's start with the news item of the hour: Turkey ends recovery operations for the Soma mine disaster,
having garnered a death count of 301. The explosion and subsequent fire occurred close to a shift change, which appeared to complicate initial estimates on the number of trapped miners. Workers at the coal mine, operated by Soma Kömür İşletmeleri A.Ş., have expressed concerns about the safety conditions since at least last year - yet a vote for its investigation at the National Assembly turned out with a nay just weeks before the disaster. All said and done, this is turning out to be Turkey's worst mining disaster by death toll, and the Erdogan administration is drawing a lot of ire for letting it happen in the first place.
