地域危険度Earthquake area risk

How Tokyo rates each neighbourhood (町丁目) of 足立区 for building collapse and fire spread in a big earthquake. Ranks are relative across Tokyo’s 5,192 surveyed areas: rank 5 is the highest risk, rank 1 the lowest.

Overall risk ranks in Adachi総合危険度ランク · 269 areas

Rank 516
Rank 437
Rank 362
Rank 2103
Rank 151

TMG: “building collapse risk” measures how likely buildings are to collapse or tilt from shaking, based on ground and building type; “fire risk” measures the danger of fire spreading over a wide area; the overall rank combines both with how hard rescue and evacuation would be (災害時活動困難係数).

避難場所・避難所Evacuation sites & shelters

31 designated emergency evacuation sites (31 designated for earthquakes) and 208 designated shelters in the national open data. Saved on your device after your first visit, so it works offline.

Read before using this list (GSI’s own notes, translated):
  1. This data is what each municipality registered about the evacuation sites and shelters designated by the mayor under the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act (Art. 49-4 and 49-7). It may not be the latest, or some facilities may not be listed, so always confirm the latest details with the ward.
  2. Understand the difference between a “designated emergency evacuation site” and a “designated evacuation shelter”, and that evacuation sites are designated per type of disaster.
  3. The data is updated from time to time.

Designated emergency evacuation site (指定緊急避難場所): “a place to evacuate to urgently to protect your life from the danger of a disaster. Designated for each type of disaster, such as landslides, floods, tsunami and earthquakes.” Designated evacuation shelter (指定避難所): “a facility where disaster victims who have evacuated stay for a certain period after a disaster.”

原文(国土地理院「ご利用上の注意」)

指定緊急避難場所とは、災害の危険から命を守るために緊急的に避難する場所です。土砂災害、洪水、津波、地震等の災害種別ごとに指定が行われます。指定避難所とは、災害が発生した場合に避難をしてきた被災者が一定期間滞在するための施設です。本データは…最新でない場合や未掲載の場合があるため、最新かつ詳細の状況などは必ず当該市町村にご確認ください。
