An updated tsunami evacuation map has been released by officials in the disaster-hit town of Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, and includes warnings and important safety tips.
The map, available on the town's official website, was revised based on lessons learned from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that left about 10 percent of the coastal town's residents dead.
"Do not return to the lowlands," says one of the information messages on the map, along with a reminder to prepare an emergency kit with essential items in advance.
