On 1 January 2024, at 16:10 JST (07:10 UTC), a MJMA7.6 (Mw7.5) earthquake struck 6 km (3.7 mi) north-northeast of Suzu, located on the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan.[2] The reverse-faulting shock achieved a maximum JMA seismic intensity of Shindo 7 and Modified Mercalli intensity of X–XI (Extreme). The shaking and accompanying tsunami caused widespread destruction on the Noto Peninsula, particularly in the towns of Suzu, Wajima, Noto and Anamizu, with the neighbouring prefectures of Toyama and Niigata also recording significant damage.
There were 318 deaths confirmed and three people remaining missing, all of them in Ishikawa. The mainshock also injured over 1,300 people and damaged 156,526 structures across nine prefectures.[3] It is the deadliest earthquake in Japan since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[4] As of 20 February,[update] 12,929 people remained in 521 evacuation centers.[5]
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) officially named this earthquake the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (Japanese: 令和6年能登半島地震, Hepburn: Reiwa 6-nen Noto-hantō Jishin).[6] It led to Japan's first major tsunami warning since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake,[7] and a tsunami of 6.58 m (22 ft) was measured along the Sea of Japan coast.[8]
