>TOKYO -- Japan is racing against the clock to prepare for an anticipated major earthquake in Tokyo and to take damage mitigation measures by making full use of available data and artificial intelligence.
>Moves by the public and private sectors come as the national government estimates that there is a 70% chance of a magnitude 7-class earthquake hitting directly beneath the Tokyo metropolitan area within 30 years.
>In the worst-case scenario, a quake could strike directly beneath the Japanese capital in the evening in winter and be centered in the southern part of central Tokyo. In this scenario, up to 23,000 people could die and 610,000 buildings could be completely destroyed or burn down, according to Japanese government estimates. Economic damage could total 95 trillion yen ($853 billion).

In my city they tell us that we're due for an earthquake any year now. It comes every 400 years or so apparently and the last one was 300 years ago.
I don't know how these places aren't already prepared for it from the get go. They have to know they're at risk for natural disaster in Japan and Pacific Northwest.
