NHK World: Extensive Earthquake Exercises


NHK World has made a program about the earthquake drills on September 1, when over 800,000 people participated in different drills around the Tokyo region. This year, US military provided helicopters and rescue workers were invited from South Korea.

A 7.3 earthquake in Tokyo Bay would mean that "over 4000 would die, 154,000 people would be injured, and tens of thousands of buildings would collapse..." according to NHK World.
