Abstract:
The 2024 Noto earthquake in Japan, with a magnitude of 7.5 Mw, occurred on 1 January 2024 at 16:10 local time - seven kilometers north-northwest of the coast of Suzu. The strongest intensity was observed on the Noto Peninsula near the epicenter and towards the Sea of Japan; the quake was felt throughout Japan, including the Tokyo area. A USGS landslide model shows a maximum slip of about 3.7 meters along the fault plane with a total length of almost 200 km.
A tsunami warning was issued shortly after the earthquake, with a maximum wave height of 5 meters predicted for the Noto peninsula. The waves that eventually were mostly just under 1 meter, except in the town of Suzu, located in a small bay, where several boats were damaged and houses along the coast were destroyed. Eyewitnesses reported waves as high as 3 meters. Low wave heights were reported from the other coasts of the Sea of Okhotsk.
CEDIM damage estimates (based on JMA/RL intensity data and Shakemap) average $4.9 bn (with a range of $2.3 bn to $11.1 bn). This estimate excludes significant indirect losses, but includes direct damage to buildings, infrastructure, and production. ... mehr
