Overview

The Nankai Trough Earthquake and earthquakes in the capital region are urgent matters for Japan's disaster risk reduction. Through the inland earthquake observation network installed all over Japan after the 1995 Kobe Earthquake and the sea observation networks installed along Pacific coast, the Japanese archipelago and its environs are covered by an observation network integrating land and sea. In this session, we will introduce these observation networks and discuss the use and application of information as well as future prospects.
