In Uchinada Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, where the Noto Peninsula earthquake recorded a maximum seismic intensity of 5-weak, a phenomenon believed to be "liquefaction" occurred, causing roads to undulate and house walls to tilt, resulting in major damage. Associate Professor Kyohei Ueda of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, who studies liquefaction, gave us a detailed explanation of "Why does liquefaction occur?" There are many places in Osaka Prefecture that are at high risk of liquefaction, and Associate Professor Ueda said, "Manholes will float up, making it impossible for ambulances to get through. This will lead to secondary disasters," and he calls for people to check the risks of their living areas using hazard maps from each local government.
