GC BRIEFING An Update from GC Analytics® May 2016 KUMAMOTO EARTHQUAKE In April of 2016, at mid-month, the world was once again reminded of the potential power of seismic activity by a series of earthquakes that hit Kumamoto prefecture on the southernmost island of Japan, as well as by the large shake that occurred half way around the world in Ecuador. In this briefing we summarize the basic facts regarding the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, including a description of the event itself and the basic seismic background of the area. We also outline the major earthquake coverages provided by Japanese insurers, report on possible loss amounts and list some of the major affected facilities. 1 F-4 | DEPTH OF THE RYUKYU TRENCH AND DEPTH OF HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKES T-1 | EARTHQUAKE EVENTS IN JAPAN STANDARD F-5 | INDUSTRIAL PARKS AND CORPORATIONS IN KUMATOMO PREFECTURE F-1 | EVENTS OF MOMENT MAGNITUDE 6.0 AND LARGER UTC+09 Moment Depth in Epicenter F-3 | EARTHQUAKE INTENSITY BY LOCATION USING MODIFIED MERCALLI INTENSITY UTC+09 Moment Depth in Epicenter Intensity 7.5 Date Time Magnitudekilometers Latitude Longitude Date Time MagnitudekilometersLatitudeLongitude April 14, 2016 21:26:36 (UTC+09) Magnitude 6.2 April 16, 2016 01:25:06 (UTC+09) Magnitude 7.0 32.849oN 130.635oE Depth 10 kilometers 32.782oN 130.726oE Depth 10 kilometers Intensity 8.0 Apr-14 21:26 6.2 10.0 32.849 130.635 Apr-16 01:445.3 10.0 32.695 130.735 D Intensity 7.0 Apr-14 21:424.8 10.0 32.578 130.636 Apr-16 01:455.7 10.0 32.881 130.846 Intensity 8.5 Apr-14 22:075.4 10.0 32.788 130.835 Apr-16 02:044.6 11.7 32.757 130.742 Apr-14 22:224.8 10.0 32.683 130.646 Apr-16 02:494.5 12.2 33.203 131.321 M Apr-14 22:384.8 10.0 32.685 130.711 Apr-16 03:035.4 4.9 32.926 131.043 L Apr-14 22:434.5 10.0 32.704 130.696 Apr-16 03:164.6 18.6 33.086 130.836 J K B Apr-14 23:284.5 10.0 32.785 130.745 Apr-16 03:204.5 19.4 33.101 130.997 I Apr-14 23:294.6 10.0 32.752 130.726 Apr-16 03:264.5 10.0 32.870 130.918 A Aisin Kyushu Co.
