Is Distribution
Maximum Observed Is:3
Seismic Intensity (Is) distribution is estimated from the observed data (circles) of NIED K-NET, KiK-net, JMA, and local governments that had been collected by 2024/03/02 03:48:02.
Estimated Is for Major Cities

Municipality
Show All Data | Nighttime Population | Distance [km] |
| 3 | Ichinomiya,Chosei,Chiba | 12,000 | 8 |
The histogram shows frequency distribution of estimated Is derived from interpolation of the observation with 250-m mesh. The daytime and nighttime correspond to 9:00-18:59 and 19:00-8:59, respectively. The distance is measured from the epicenter to the center of the municipality.
