Information for Emergencies

Please consult the following resources to learn how to be prepared and alert in the event of a disaster situation when travelling in Japan, as well as what to do in the event of a medical emergency.

If you are concerned by the novel coronavirus, please visit our official Covid-19 page or follow our news updates.

Disaster Types

Earthquakes

What it is

Japan sees a high frequency of earthquakes compared to the rest of the world, so it helps to know what to expect and what to do should you experience one. Buildings are by law required to be earthquake-resitant and, for many local residents, earthquakes themselves are a commonplace occurrence for which basic preparation can go a long way. In coastal regions, there is an added risk of tsunamis to be aware of.

When they occur

Earthquakes can occur at any time of the year. As an island country, Japan sits on or near the boundary of four tectonic plates. This pressure and movement causes earthquakes, but it also helps explain the presence of volcanoes in Japan as well as abundant natural hot springs.

Scene of an earthquake

Tips for dealing with an earthquake

  • Early warnings: try to be prepared to recognise and respond calmly to advance warnings delivered by TV, radio or smartphones – these Earthquake Early Warnings are issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
  • Indoors: try to ensure your safety, and if shaking persists, move under a table or desk. Turn off any heat sources and when you exit the building, make sure to watch for any falling debris.
  • Outdoors: after checking for falling material or debris, make your way to safe, open space or evacuation area.
Level Scale Description
0 Micro You don't feel the earth shake.
1 Minor Some people who are quiet indoors might feel the earth shake.
2 Light Most people who are quiet indoors feel shaking.
3 Moderate Most people in buildings feel the earth shake.
4 Strong Most pedestrians feel the earth shake. Things hanging from the ceiling might shake wildly and things can fall over.
5- Major Most people feel fear and want to hold on to something. Tableware and books on shelves might fall down.
5+ Major It becomes difficult to walk unless you hold something. Most tableware and books on shelves fall down.
6- Great Difficult to stand. Most unfixed furniture moves and some might fall down. Some doors might not be able to open.
6+ Great You cannot move unless you crawl on the floor. Most unfixed furniture move and fall down.
7 Massive You cannot move bacause of the earth shaking. Even earthquake-resistant structures may possibly fall down.

Volcanoes

What it is

Japan is known for its abundance of volcanoes — like with earthquakes, this is due to its location near several tectonic plate borders creating subduction zones. Though many are dormant, perhaps the most famous one of all—Mt Fuji—is still considered active (its last eruption was in 1707).

Tips for dealing with a volcano

  • Heed warnings: when an alert is issued, heed warnings that place restrictions on access to mountains as well as requests to evacuate.
  • Encountering an eruption: wear a helmet to protect your head and distance yourself from the crater – cover your mouth with a towel to prevent inhaling volcanic gas or ash.
  • Encountering an ash cloud: wear a mask and goggles to protect against inhalation, and seek shelter.

Severe Weather: Typhoons

What it is

Japan may be known for its rainy season in June/July that preludes the summer, but it can also see more severe weather and torrential rain at other times of the year.

Typhoon storms are created by large low-pressure systems that develop over the Pacific — they are similar to cyclones and hurricanes, and are designated by number when identified.

When they occur

Japan's typhoon season is considered to run from July until October, but peaks in August and September.

Tips for dealing with severe weather situations

  • Early warnings: the Japan Meteorological Agency will issue advisories whenever it anticipates heavy rain or strong winds. Make sure you have a smartphone app that can be alerted to these.
  • Alternative plans: if heavy rain is forecast, make sure you pack an umbrella/poncho and suitable attire, and think about adjusting your schedule to indoor locations.
  • Safety first: if a strong typhoon is predicted to make landfall in your area, stay indoors, close the windows, keep some essentials on hand and devices charged (in case of electricity cuts).
