THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is monitoring developments in Japan following a magnitude 6.0 earthquake that rocked Japan shortly after noon today, Thursday, 04 April 2024.
The DMW’s Migrant Workers Offices in Tokyo and Osaka (MWO-Tokyo | MWO-Osaka), citing the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), reported the quake’s epicenter was located off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture in the northeastern part of Honshu, Japan’s main island.
Protocols for accounting for the safety and status of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in the affected areas have been activated.
Both MWO-Tokyo and MWO-Osaka stand ready to assist OFWs should they require so. The posts will provide the DMW Head Office with updates as developments occur.
