●AftershocksYou may feel uneasy that aftershocks are still occurring a month after the initial earthquake struck. The number of aftershocks that occur will normally decrease with time, but big aftershocks can still occur, sometimes in areas further away from the epicentre. When an area is struck by a large main-shock, or aftershocks, it is possible that subsequent aftershocks can cause further destruction such as damage to houses and mud slides, so please avoid going near damaged buildings and cliffs. Large aftershocks can also cause tsunamis so pay attention to tsunami advisories and warnings.
