Study warns a Nankai trench earthquake would displace 10 million people in Japan, and kill 323,000

Study warns a Nankai trench earthquake would displace 10 million people in Japan, and kill 323,000 | The Extinction Protocol: 2012 and beyond: "March 20, 2013 – JAPAN – A Japanese government panel is estimating that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in the Nankai Trough region will do damage worth $2.2 billion, a figure that is much higher than the $177 million from the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. Scientists are predicting that the earthquake is due “in the not-too-distant future”, based on historical rough calculations. These figures do not include the possible nuclear fallout from an earthquake of that magnitude. The panel also predicts the number of evacuees to reach 9.5 million a week after it hits and that 40 out of the country’s 47 prefectures will suffer damage to their infrastructure. 27.1 million will suffer power outages, while 34.4 million will be without water."
