## 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (Great East Japan Earthquake) Damage (as of March 1, 2023)

This is regarding the damage caused by the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake (Great East Japan Earthquake) that occurred on March 11, 2011, The following is the 163rd report of the damage situation as of March 1, 2023. The damage reported includes damage caused by aftershocks from the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (see the separate report on damage in the following page/next paragraphs).

The damage report includes aftershocks from the earthquake off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture on February 13, 2011 and the earthquake off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture on March 20, 2021, for which a separate damage report is being compiled. (Excluding damage caused by the earthquake off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture that occurred on February 13, 2021 and the earthquake off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture that occurred on March 20, 2021). (excluding damage from earthquakes with epicenters off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture that occurred on February 13, 2011 and off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture that occurred on March 20, 2021). The figures include damage caused by earthquakes that occurred after March 11, 2011, and for which it is impossible to distinguish the damage.

### Comparison with the data as of March 1, 2022 (162nd report)
