Officials in Nagoya are distributing seismic and tsunami hazard maps based on the damage the city is projected to take from an earthquake in the Nankai Trough.
The maps, which were distributed starting March 17, outline two scenarios.
One is based on the largest earthquake ever to hit Japan, while the other considers all possible scenarios that could occur when a big earthquake hits, covering such topics as damage from liquefaction and the highest rise in water levels.
