https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-68720022#0 Version 12 of 19. In the initial aftermath of the earthquake, Japanese authorities issued a tsunami advisory for the island chain of Okinawa, as well as ordering people in southwestern Japan to move away from the coast. This tsunami warning was lifted shortly afterwards by the Japanese Meteorological Agency. Officials are continuing to urge people to remain cautious as the tide level could change, but waves never reached the 3m (9.8ft) height initially expected in some areas. The Philippines, which lies to the south of Taiwan, also declared and then subsequently lifted a tsunami alert for its northern coastline. Filipino officials say they had cancelled the warning after there were "no significant sea level disturbances" for several hours following the huge quake.
