Article Synopsis
- The paper uses a counterfactual approach to assess how effective Tokai earthquake measures, like retrofitting and better construction, are in reducing housing damage in affected areas.
- It reports that these measures prevented approximately JPY 18 billion (USD 0.18 billion) in damage for Yamanashi Prefecture and JPY 0.26 trillion (USD 2.6 billion) in Shizuoka Prefecture.
- The study finds that comparing damage before and after implementing these measures could skew results, and statistically, the measures do not effectively reduce predicted housing damage from a Tokai earthquake.
