On the night of yesterday, the 11th, earthquakes centered on the Noto Peninsula occurred one after another, and a seismic intensity of 3 was observed twice in Wajima City. During the 2020 Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred on January 1st, as of today, the 12th, seismic intensity levels of lower 5 or higher have been observed 16 times, and seismic intensity levels of 3 or higher have been observed over 150 times.
2020 Noto Peninsula Earthquake 16 times with a seismic intensity of lower 5 or higher, over 150 times with a seismic intensity of 3 or higher
At around 16:10 on January 1st, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, and a maximum seismic intensity of 7 was observed in Shiga Town, Ishikawa Prefecture. Just before that, at around 16:06, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, and a maximum seismic intensity of 5+ was observed in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Since then, earthquakes have occurred one after another, mainly in Ishikawa Prefecture.
Yesterday, on the 11th, at around 17:59, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake occurred with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture, and at around 19:14, a magnitude 3.2 earthquake occurred with its epicenter in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture. A seismic intensity of 3 was observed in Wajima City.
As of today, the 12th (7:30 am), there have been 16 earthquakes with a seismic intensity of lower 5 or higher, and over 150 earthquakes with an intensity of 3 or higher due to the series of 2020 Noto Peninsula earthquakes.
Pay attention to future earthquake activity, rain and snow conditions, etc.
Seismic activity continues to be high mainly in the Noto region of Ishikawa Prefecture. Areas that experienced strong shaking from the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred on January 1st are at increased risk of collapsed houses and landslides. When carrying out recovery activities, please pay close attention to future seismic activity and rainfall/snow conditions, and take precautions to ensure your own safety by not entering dangerous areas unless there are unavoidable circumstances.
Although the possibility of an earthquake similar to the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred on January 1st has decreased compared to when the earthquake first occurred, seismic activity remains high. Please be on the lookout for earthquakes with a maximum seismic intensity of 5 or higher for the next month or so.
The range of seismic activity has expanded compared to last December, and stronger shaking has been observed over a wider area than before. Also, if a large-scale earthquake occurs on the ocean floor, you need to be careful about tsunamis.
