Task 1Disseminate timely information,
and fully support evacuation from mega tsunami’s landfall in short timeframe.

Up to approx. 230,000 deaths from tsunami. Up to approx. 40,000 people who require rescue.

Anticipate up to approx. 323,000 deaths and approx. 170 trillion yen in direct impact, and decreases in production and services amounting to approx. 45 trillion yen.

Task 2Take all necessary means to ensure the safety of passengers of
trains, planes, and other transports accessed by hundreds of thousands of people per day.

Approx. 80,000 passengers on Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen and approx. 640,000 passengers on local trains in Chukyo/Kinki regions at the time of the earthquake.

Task 3In response to catastrophic/wide-area damages,
collect and share info about the affected areas promptly and accurately,
and contribute to emergency activities and evacuation.

Areas measuring SI 6 Lower or stronger: Approx. 71,000k㎡.

Tsunami inundation: Approx. 1,000k㎡, approx. 450 municipalities.

Task 4Implement all possible efforts to achieve total debris clearance
to secure transport routes and begin rescue activities
in the countless affected areas.

Damages of up to approx. 41,000 road sections, approx. 19,000 rail sections, approx. 5,000 port sections,
and tsunami inundation at 5 airports.

Task 5Enhance disaster response capabilities,
such as TEC-FORCE, so that all possible efforts could be made to prevent further damages.

Wide-area and numerous large-scale landslides in the mountains could cause river blockages and catastrophic secondary disasters.

Task 6Provide full support to tens of millions of affected people/evacuees and affected local governments,
in collaboration with the private sector.

　Shortage of relief supplies is a concern, since up to approx. 4.3 million people would be evacuating at evacuation centers by the following day of the earthquake.

Task 7Prevent prolongation of disaster's consequences, including through prior preparations.
Seek to achieve early recovery to contribute to reconstructing people’s lives and the economy as quickly as possible.

Yui District, Shizuoka City

In Yui District, Shizuoka City, large landslides will severe Japan's transportation artery for a long period, namely, the Tomei Expressway, National Route 1, and JR Tokaido Main Line.

Nobi Plain

In below sea level areas in Nobi Plain, levees will sink due to tremor and fail to prevent tsunami intrusion, leading to wide-area and long-term inundation.

JR Tokaido Main Line

JR Tokaido Main Line will be damaged in several sections due to tsunami inundation, and service will be severed for long-term.

Japan’s three major bays (Tokyo, Ise, Osaka)

Containers and vessels will pile up at Japan's economic and industrial hubs such as Ise and Osaka Bays, causing serious impacts on the bays' port functions.
