Common Disasters in Japan
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause the ground to shake and can occur without warning. Earthquakes are particularly dangerous as they can cause subsequent issues such as: • tsunamis (large ocean waves) that rush toward the land • landslides around mountainous regions, which may cause buildings and roads to collapse • suspension of electricity, gas, or water • loss of network connectivity for mobile phones Tsunamis A tsunami is an extremely fast, large, and dangerous wave that may arise after an earthquake occurs near or under the ocean. • If you spend time in costal areas, find a safe place to escape to and an escape route in the event of a tsunami. • If you feel an earthquake, head immediately to higher ground. Do not attempt to drive your car. • Tsunamis may strike land multiple times. It is extremely dangerous to be near the coast even after the first wave recedes.
