There aren’t that many places for people to go that don’t possess anything......

Restarting all NPPs would be a good move.

Evacuate to where?

This has been discussed here before and we really need a map to understand it.

The Nankai Trough earthquake has sometimes but not always occurred in two phases, two movements, the first happening in the eastern half. Not much that anyone can do there if they are in a low building along the coast.

About a week later however, the western half of the zone moves. This article is suggesting, believe it or not, that everyone in low-lying areas in the western half of the total Nankai Trough zone should get out and go somewhere safe for a week or so.

Bunkers that can resist nuclear bombing are all over the world for almost inexistent threat.

Tsunami bunkers can be built all over high risk areas as the need is for very short time, i.e 1-2 days maximum, so no need for heavy infrastructure or bedding. No excuse!

If the analysis following the 3/11 Quake was correct, Japan is being held aloft by a small notch of rock, which if shifts would lead to a massive subsidence.. so unless your shelter is on top of Mt Fuji, then things may come to an abrupt end.

Needless to say, this is all supposed to happen within the next 30+ years - and anything could happen to you between now and then.

That said, we haven't had an earthquake recently....

Go inland, and uphill, quickly...

Interesting that this is being brought up at this time.

The government may be aware of knows that something is brewing.

Time for all to take heed and start "preparing" as corporations and as individuals.

Yup something is definitely brewing, and we have fair notice that it could happen at any moment in the next thirty years. (In the small print, it wasn't expressed very clearly though.)

People are aware that clear warnings were issued shortly before the Fukushima tsunami, but no-one in government took any action. Now no-one wants to get caught holding the baby this time, so any alarming information gets handed smartly down the line like this.

"Can't say we didn't warn you!" they can all now intone.
