J-SHIS was established to help prevent and prepare for earthquake disaster by providing a public portal for seismic hazard information across Japan. Here is the history of J-SHIS.

As part of international collaboration mentioned in the mid-to-long term plan (in Japanese) of National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), joint research of seismic hazard assessment is in progress with Asia and Pacific region, where seismic activity is high, especially with China, South Korea, Taiwan, and New Zealand (NZ). We will contribute to seismic hazard assessment by sharing the lessons and knowledge of Japan, which experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, with the world. These backgrounds and activities are described below.
The subsurface structure data of V3.2 was created by connecting the data in Kanto area to the data of V2. Thus, the physical property data of V3.2 is same as V2.
Since maximum layer number of the depth and elevation data is 30 in Kanto, that in V3.2 is also 30. For area other than Kanto, please set the depth/elevation/physical property value of the 31st to 33rd layers of V2 to the values of 31st to 33rd layers of V3.2.
The staff on the research project “Research regarding hazard risk assessment” are as follows.
