In Japan, the Shindo scale is commonly used to measure earthquakes by seismic intensity instead of magnitude. This is similar to the Modified Mercalli intensity scale used in the United States or the Liedu scale used in China, meaning that the scale measures the intensity of an earthquake at a given location instead of measuring the energy an earthquake releases at its epicenter (its magnitude ...
Following the earthquake, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a 'Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information' advisory [23] that the probability of a megathrust earthquake along the Nankai Trough increased from a 0.1% per week to 1% chance [24] in what was the first advisory of its kind but clarified that it was not imminent.

The JMA scale is expressed in levels of seismic intensity from 0 to 7 in a manner similar to that of the Mercalli intensity scale, which is not commonly used in Japan.. Real-time earthquake reports are calculated automatically from seismic-intensity-meter measurements of peak ground acceleration throughout an affected area, and the JMA reports the intensities for a given quake according to the ...
