Tsunami investigation at Miyako, Iwaizumi, Tanohata, Fudai, Noda. (Temporary)

On 3rd and 4th of April, tsunami investigation was held from Miyako city to Kuji city. At Aonotaki, a Tsunami run-up height of 34.8 was measured, comparable to 37.9 at Koboriuchi Fisheries Cooperative Association. The black dots on the map below indicate for surveying points and the white dots are for inspection points. The numbers on bracket by the inspection points are an approximate height, so the result of further investigation is effective.
