Abstract

On January 1 2024, at 16:10 JST, an earthquake of Mw 7.5 occurred underneath the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This event caused a cascading disaster impact on cities in the Noto Peninsula through a series of strong earthquake shakes, strong ground motions, slope failures, liquefaction, fire, and tsunamis. The tsunami first reached Suzu City a few minutes after the earthquake, eventually affecting approximately 340 km of the coast from the Ishikawa to Niigata Prefectures. The Coastal Engineering Committee of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers conducted an organized post-event field survey to understand the impact of tsunamis on land. This study summarizes the post-event field survey results and provides a general understanding of tsunami behavior and damage using measured tsunami inundation and run-up heights.
