Introduction

The Nankai Trough,
located south of
the Japanese archipelago,
has long been
a focal point
for disaster prevention experts
and seismologists in Japan.
A potential mega-earthquake
in this region
could cause
extensive damage
across a wide area
of Japan.
This article delves into
the overview of
the Nankai Trough earthquake,
the predicted damage,
recent developments,
and the preparedness measures
we can take.

What is the Nankai Trough?

The Nankai Trough
is a submarine trench
situated south of Japan,
where the Philippine Sea Plate
is subducting beneath
the Eurasian Plate.
This region
is prone to
accumulating strain
along the plate boundary,
significantly increasing
the likelihood of
large-scale seismic events.

Past Earthquakes and Future Predictions

Historically,
this area
has experienced
repeated large-scale earthquakes,
such as
the Showa Tonankai Earthquake
and the Showa Nankai Earthquake.
Experts are deeply concerned
about the next major earthquake.
  • Predicted magnitude:
    Class 8 to 9
  • Probability of occurrence:
    70% to 80%
    within the next 30 years

Expected Damage

According to damage estimates
by the Central Disaster Management Council,
a mega-earthquake
in the Nankai Trough
could have
the following impacts:
  1. Strong Shaking:
    • Some areas
      from Shizuoka Prefecture
      to Miyazaki Prefecture:
      Seismic intensity 7
    • Surrounding areas:
      Seismic intensity 6+ to 6-
  2. Massive Tsunami:
    • Pacific coast
      from the Kanto region
      to the Kyushu region:
      Potential for tsunamis
      exceeding 10 meters
These damage estimates
are organized
as one possible scenario,
and actual conditions
during an earthquake
may vary.

Recent Developments

Recently,
following an earthquake
centered in the Hyuga-nada region,
the Japan Meteorological Agency
issued a
"Nankai Trough Earthquake Temporary Information
(Mega-earthquake Warning)."
This information
indicates an increased likelihood
of a large-scale earthquake
along the Nankai Trough.

Preparedness Measures

To prepare for
a Nankai Trough earthquake,
it is crucial
to implement
the following disaster prevention measures:
  1. Secure furniture
  2. Identify evacuation sites
  3. Stockpile emergency food and water
  4. Confirm communication methods
    with family members
  5. Participate in
    local disaster drills

Conclusion

The Nankai Trough earthquake
is one of the most severe
natural disaster risks
Japan faces.
While its occurrence
is inevitable,
appropriate preparation
and knowledge
can minimize the damage.
Raising individual disaster awareness
and taking necessary measures
are key to
confronting this mega-earthquake.
