The Japanese government expects a 9-magnitude earthquake to hit the Nankai trough in the southern Pacific side of the main Honshu island followed by a tsunami, reported Channel News Asia.
These calamities are expected to kill up to 320,000 people and cause economic damage of more than $2.2 trillion, worse than the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Several cities and towns are preparing for the worst-case scenario, and the government is looking to come up with an action plan by the end of July to mitigate risk of fatalities.
