The weather bureau warns that aftershocks may continue for the next 2 to 3 weeks. When going out, be mindful of falling objects, landslides, and fragile items, and avoid mountainous areas. With recent low temperatures, also take care to stay warm. In addition to the subduction of the Philippine Plate and the compression of the Eurasian Plate, the triggering of the Meishan Fault could potentially lead to another sizable earthquake. Continued vigilance is needed, especially for residents in the Hualien area to prepare for seismic activity.
