2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (Japan)(GLIDE No. EQ-2024-000001-JPN)©Google Map©Google Map©JMAAt 16:10 on 1 January 2024, an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 on the Richter scale (GLIDE No. EQ2024-000001-JPN) centred on the Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, caused a temblor of
an intensity of 7 (JMA) in Shika Town, and intensity of 6+ and 6- in many municipalities in the NotoPeninsula. Also, a tsunami of up to 1.2 m was observed. The earthquake caused many deaths,injuries, collapse of houses and buildings, fires and landslides. The ADRC, the secretariat of theSentinel Asia Project for the DRR application of space technology, received request for emergency
observations after the disaster and is working to assess the damage in the Noto Peninsula, thecentre of the damage, and is collecting the latest information.

[Ref.] Sentinel Asia
project• In the event of a disaster, it is important to beable to quickly assess the disaster area for
emergency response. Earth observation
satellites effectively serve this purpose byanalysing the disaster area and providing thosedata to the local community.
• ADRC continues to participate in the Sentinel
Asia project, which was launched in 2006 withan objective of establishing a disaster risk
management system in Asia utilizing thesatellite images. ADRC functions as the focal
point to receive emergency observation request
in the framework of the Sentinel Asia.
• Upon receiving a request, ADRC decides
whether the request is appropriate and whether
the emergency observation should beimplemented mainly by assessing the damages
and casualties.
• Based on its own judgement, ADRC will forward
the request to space agencies that participate inthe Sentinel Asia Project, namely: CRISP(Singapore), GISTDA (Thailand), ISRO (India),
JAXA (Japan), KARI (Korea), MBRSC (UnitedArab Emirates), PhilSA (Philippines), TASA(Taiwan), and VAST (Vietnam).

Currently Sentinel Asia has 114 Joint Project Team (JPT) members.

Damage to buildings caused by the earthquake andtsunami was estimated through visual interpretation of

Indistinguishable due to clouds, shadows, vegetation, etc.,
Missing or Inconsistent: Difficult to distinguish.
