We are calling for you to pay attention to the situation and try to evacuate as soon as possible.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, as a result of estimation by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan based on the magnitude of shaking, topography, and ground, it is possible that sediment-related disasters have occurred within a range of approximately 2,400 square kilometers, mainly along the mountains in Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures. It means that there is sex.



It also means that liquefaction may occur in an area of ​​approximately 2100 square kilometers, mainly in the plains and coastal areas of Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures.
