Mechanism of Earthquake Early Warning. In Japan, the Earthquake Early Warning ( EEW) (緊急地震速報, Kinkyū Jishin Sokuhō) is a warning issued when an earthquake is detected by multiple seismometers. [4] . These warnings are primarily issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), with guidance on how to react to them. [5] [6] Introduction.
This is a list of earthquakes in Japan with either a magnitude greater than or equal to 7.0 or which caused significant damage or casualties. As indicated below, magnitude is measured on the Richter magnitude scale ( ML) or the moment magnitude scale ( Mw ), or the surface wave magnitude scale ( Ms) for very old earthquakes.

A convoy of fire engines in the tsunami zone The aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami included both a humanitarian crisis and massive economic impacts. The tsunami created over 300,000 refugees in the Tōhoku region of Japan, and resulted in shortages of food, water, shelter, medicine and fuel for survivors. 15,900 deaths have been confirmed.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Seismic Intensity Scale [1] (known in Japan as the Shindo seismic scale) [2] is a seismic intensity scale used in Japan to categorize the intensity of local ground shaking caused by earthquakes .
The 1982 Urakawa earthquake ( Japanese: 浦河沖地震 [6]) was a Mw 6.9 earthquake that struck off the coast of Urakawa, Japan, on 11:32 ( JST ), March 21, 1982. [7] [8] [9] The epicenter was 42.1°N 142.6°E. [10] . The earthquake was the largest earthquake in the history of the region. The earthquake caused 167 injuries and damage in Tomakomai and Sapporo.
