Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo-nana) is the highest level on the JMA seismic intensity scale, applied to earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 or higher. [6] At Intensity 7, movement becomes nearly impossible without external support. [11] The intensity was created following the 1948 Fukui earthquake.
In Japan, for shallow (depth < 60 km) earthquakes within 600 km, the Japanese Meteorological Agency calculates [2] a magnitude labeled MJMA, M JMA, or M J. (These should not be confused with moment magnitudes JMA calculates, which are labeled M w (JMA) or M (JMA), nor with the Shindo intensity scale.)
The JMA announced the Earthquake Early Warning hit (accuracy) rate for the 2011 fiscal year on 31 May 2012. The hit rate is the percentage of warnings issued immediately on the detection of P-waves with a Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale (震度, shindo) number (0 to 7) within one shindo number of the measured earthquake.
In an assessment of 115 indirect deaths released in December 2024, "distress after the earthquake and fear of aftershocks" was cited as the cause in 89 fatalities, followed by "severed lifelines such as electricity and water" at 53 cases, and "life in evacuation centers" at 37 cases; 200 additional cases were still subject to review.

Shindo or Shindō may refer to: Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale ( 震度 , shindo ) Shindo (religion) (신도), an alternative name of Korean Shamanism used by Shamanic associations in modern South Korea.
The earthquake was first detected 1.6 seconds after it had occurred, and was given a seismic intensity of Shindo 3. The early warning came 9.6 seconds later when instruments recorded an intensity of Shindo 5-. Another warning was issued for a seismic intensity of Shindo 6+. [32]
It is the character of the game rather than a particular player's skill or lack of it that determines whether the game is one of chance or skill. The test is not whether the game contains an element of chance or an element of skill but which of them is the dominating factor in determining the result of the game. [2]
There are 39 radioisotopes that have been characterized, with the most stable being 138 La, with a half-life of 1.03×10 11 years; 137 La, with a half-life of 60,000 years and 140 La, with a half-life of 1.6781 days. The remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than a day and the majority of these have half-lives that are ...
