Number of people reported missing or killed Japan 2023, by type of disaster

In 2023, the number of people reported missing or killed due to drowning in Japan was estimated at 743. In the same year, only one case was reported for earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Since Japan is situated along the Ring of Fire, which is an area where several tectonic plates meet, it is vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

于2023年，据估计，因溺水而在日本失踪或死亡的人数达到743人。同年，仅报告了一例与地震或火山喷发相关的案例。鉴于日本位于环太平洋地震带，该地带为多个构造板块的汇聚之地，该国易受诸如地震、海啸和火山喷发等自然灾害的侵袭。
