Taiwan’s National Fire Agency stated that an assessment of the damage has been conducted after the earthquake and there is no threat of a tsunami. The agency appealed to people to remain vigilant on the social media platform ‘X’. The fire agency advised people to prioritize their safety, stay away from dangerous objects, keep shoes and a flashlight near their beds, and only go outside after the tremors have stopped.
No Immediate Reports of Casualties or Damage
According to the Taipei administration, there are no immediate reports of casualties or major damage from the earthquake.
