The Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) (Japanese: 地震予知連絡会, Jishin Yochi Renraku-kai) in Japan was founded in April 1969, [1] as part of the Geodesy Council's Second Earthquake Prediction Plan, in order to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of earthquake data in Japan. [2]
The history can be broken into phases: [6] 1960s - 1970s. April 1963: National Research Center for Disaster Prevention (NRCDP) established in Tokyo [7] December 1964: Institute of Snow and Ice Studies established in Nagaoka [8] October 1969: Shinjo Branch established; June 1970: Large-Scale Earthquake Simulator constructed in Tsukuba [9]
Research led by Kimiyuki Asano at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute at Kyoto University analysed waveforms recorded by seismometers and determined the earthquake consisted of two subevents. The first subevent, measuring M JMA 7.3, ruptured a fault beneath the peninsula, causing coastal uplift.

Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) calculated a peak ground acceleration of 2.99 g (29.33 m/s 2). [ 88 ] [ en 2 ] The largest individual recording in Japan was 2.7 g , in Miyagi Prefecture, 75 km from the epicenter; the highest reading in the Tokyo metropolitan area was 0.16 g .
The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, at 05:46:53 JST in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, including the region known as Hanshin.It measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum intensity of 7 on the JMA Seismic Intensity Scale (XI–XII on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale).
