津波避難 Current State of “Tsunami Difficult-to-Evacuate Areas”
Approximately 233,000 residents are exposed to this danger. The main cause is the lack of nearby high ground or suitable evacuation buildings. The situation is particularly serious in the special reinforcement areas for Japan Trench and Chishima Trench earthquakes, where about 88,000 people reside in difficult-to-evacuate areas, and in the special reinforcement areas for Nankai Trough earthquakes, where about 87,000 people live in such areas.
