Relationship between the Hinata Nada earthquake and the Nankai Trough

After the large-scale eruption of the Tonga Islands on Saturday, January 16th, strong earthquakes have occurred one after another in various places.
On the same day, there was a M5.5 earthquake in Taiwan, and on 1/22 there was a M6.2 earthquake off the coast of Alaska.
An M6.6 earthquake occurred in Hinata Nada.
In Oita and Miyazaki, which are close to the earthquake source, I think that tension ran due to the strong shaking during the time when I was asleep.
Hinata Nada is within the assumed range of the “Nankai Trough Giant Earthquake” that is said to occur in the near future.
The other day, regarding the “Nankai Trough Earthquake”, “Probability of M8-9 class earthquake occurrence within 40 years”
We have just raised it to 90%.
However, because it did not meet the criteria (M6.8) that is the subject of “Temporary Information on Nankai Trough Earthquake”
The Meteorological Agency has forgotten the announcement of extraordinary information.

To be honest, the difference in magnitude 0.2 from the perspective of us amateurs is
I feel that there is not much difference.
However, it seems that the energy scale of the earthquake is about 32 times different even if the magnitude is different by one.
If it is 0.2, it will change about twice.
M6.8 and M6.6 look almost the same when viewed numerically, but the energy of the earthquake is twice as different.

By the way, when a large-scale earthquake occurs, I think that many people review disaster prevention goods at home.
In particular, emergency food and drinking water can be stored for a long period of time, so once purchased, it may be left as it is.
Not a few.
Why not check again for any food or drinking water that has expired?

It’s best not to use disaster prevention goods.
Still, what was the biggest problem and what did you feel you needed that day on 3.11.
I think that the steady preparation of each person will lead to the reduction of damage to the entire city and country.
