Area and hazard data

1 to know about, 4 not checked. Each check is against a government map for this exact point. Where a map is missing or we can't use it, we say so; that never means there's no risk.

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

Strong-earthquake chance
Not checked
We haven't been able to check earthquake risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Landslide risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check landslide risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Flood risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check flood risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.
Tsunami risk
Not checked
We haven't been able to check tsunami risk here yet, but that doesn't mean there's no risk.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
