 The Nankai Trough earthquake occurred off Suruga Bay in Shizuoka Prefecture, off Enshu Nada, off Kumano Nada in Mie Prefecture, off Kii Peninsula in Wakayama Prefecture, off Tosa Bay in Kochi Prefecture, and off Hinata Nada in Miyazaki Prefecture, and occurred in the Pacific Ocean of Shikoku. A violent tremor with a seismic intensity of 6 to 7 and a tsunami far above 10 meters in height are expected on the shore.Since it has occurred every 100 to 150 years, the government expects it to occur with a high probability in the near future, and urgent measures are required.

 Furthermore, with the progress of global warming, precipitation is increasing nationwide and typhoons are becoming larger, and the need to promote flood control measures is increasing in Shikoku, where large rivers such as the Yoshino and Shimanto rivers flow.
