Following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, extensive damages have been reported, with estimates reaching ¥1 trillion across civil engineering, agriculture, and other sectors. The earthquake also significantly impacted local fishing ports, prompting ongoing recovery efforts. In response to the disaster, many public high schools in Ishikawa held graduation ceremonies, underscoring the community's resilience. The Japanese government and local authorities are urging the public to stay alert for potential aftershocks, as earthquakes up to lower 5 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale have been recorded after slow-slip events. Additionally, most local governments in Japan are planning to enhance their disaster management measures in the next fiscal year, taking lessons from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Meanwhile, Chiba Prefecture has experienced a series of quakes, with the weather agency warning of more to come. This has led to increased concern among residents in the Kanto region, especially after detecting 20 earthquakes up to Shindo 4 between Feb 26th and March 2nd. Editorial commentary has emphasized the need for Japan's central and local governments to review and improve their disaster preparedness plans in light of these events.
