Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is a government agency responsible for meteorology and weather forecasting in Japan. The JMA provides critical weather and earthquake information to the public, helping to protect lives and property. Recently, the JMA has issued tsunami warnings following powerful earthquakes off Japan's northeastern coast, prompting evacuations and preparations for potential tsunamis. These events highlight the agency's importance in monitoring natural disasters and providing timely warnings to those affected. The JMA's work is crucial in mitigating the impact of these events, making it a vital component of Japan's disaster response efforts.
