• The advisory, which had urged residents to prepare for a potential magnitude 8+ quake, is no longer in effect.
• Officials stated the probability of a megaquake has decreased but urged continued vigilance and preparedness.
• The initial 7.5 magnitude quake caused mild injuries, damage, and small tsunami waves, but no major tsunami damage.
