The shake level (Lv.) explanation table is as follows:

≥ 50:Shaking not felt.
≥ 100:Shaking felt by most people.
≥ 500:Strong shaking.
≥ 1000:Very strong shaking. Difficult to stand.
≥ 2000:Severe shaking. Difficult to walk.

Tsunami information

Tsunami Information

Displays the current tsunami information, including level, region name, height, and arrival time.
Details are as follows:

Special arrival times:
Arrival of initial tsunami confirmed (When tsunami has arrived)
Tsunami arrival expected (When tsunami should have arrived)
Tsunami will arrive soon (When tsunami is expected to arrive shortly)
Height:
HUGE: Equivalent to Major Tsunami Warning
Major Tsunami Warning: 10m+, 10m, 5m
HIGH: Equivalent to Tsunami Warning

Tsunami map

Tsunami Map

Displays the current tsunami map.
The color table is as follows:

≥ 5m: Major Tsunami Warning.
Can sweep away most concrete and wooden houses, and destroy all facilities.
≥ 3m and < 5m: Tsunami Warning.
Can sweep away most wooden houses and destroy most facilities.
≥ 1m and < 3m: Tsunami Advisory.
Be aware of possible tsunami-related damage.

Note: Okinawa and the Ogasawara Islands will be automatically hidden if the tsunami information does not apply to them.

Tsunami observation

Tsunami Observation

Displays observed tsunami heights, including observation area, time, height, and whether the wave is rising.
Details are as follows:

Height:
≥ 3m: Disaster has already occurred.
Most houses washed away; communications largely destroyed.
≥ 1m and < 3m: Disaster has occurred.
Some houses washed away; communications restricted.
≥ 0.5m and < 1m: Disaster may occur.
Pay attention to upcoming information.
Special notes:
Over ...m: Tsunami exceeds measurement limit.
Follow information from other stations.
Weak: Tsunami too small to be effectively measured.
Pay attention to upcoming information.
Observing: Tsunami is being observed, or wave too small to have impact.
Pay attention to upcoming information.
