National Seismic Hazard Maps for Japan

The promotion of earthquake research－comprehensive and basic policy for the promotion of earthquake observations, surveys,

measurements, and researches – Survey of Underground Structures

Research of Active Faults

Survey and Observation of Earthquakes Long-term Evaluation of the Occurrence of Earthquakes Improvement of Methods to Evaluate( Predict) Strong Ground Motions

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map

The probability

f ground motions equal to or higher

than seismic intensity 6 Lower,

ccurring within 30 years

from the present.

Seismic Hazard Map for Specified Seismic Source Faults

The seismic intensities forecast for various regions around the Miura-hanto fault group.

Seismic intensity

These maps are expected to be used

○to raise the public's awareness of earthquake disaster reduction

○to take the earthquake disaster reduction measures more effectively and efficiently ○to evaluate the risks of establishing important facilities and enterprises in a certain area. 4 5 5 6 6
