ππ¨ Japan Plans Early Evacuation for 520,000 in Case of Nankai Trough Megaquake
A Cabinet Office survey revealed on August 20 that if the Meteorological Agency issues a βMajor Earthquake Warningβ for a potential Nankai Trough megaquake, at least 520,000 residents β mainly the elderly β would be required to evacuate one week in advance to prepare for possible tsunamis.π΅βπ« π΅βπ« π΅βπ«
This is the first government survey on designated early-evacuation populations. As local governments continue making designations, the number of target areas and residents is expected to rise further. The warning is issued when an M8-class quake occurs in the trough and the likelihood of subsequent massive quakes is judged to increase. In regions where immediate evacuation after a quake would be difficult, residents must evacuate beforehand.π«₯ π«₯ π«₯
