Intensity 3 Quake Shakes Shizuoka City With No Tsunami Risk

NHK issued a rapid alert with links to live maps and safety guidance.

Overview

  • NHK reported an earthquake in Shizuoka Prefecture that produced Shindo 3 shaking in Shizuoka City’s Aoi and Suruga wards.
  • Authorities said the quake posed no tsunami threat.
  • Other locations recorded lighter shaking at Shindo 2 or 1.
  • The broadcaster directed residents to real-time intensity maps and preparedness resources on its disaster site.
  • Shindo is Japan’s scale for observed shaking at each location, so early alerts emphasize measured intensity where people live.
