and indicate the locations of city, ward, and municipal offices (of which 282 cities, wards, and municipalities in 7 prefectures including the Tokyo Metropolis are indicated by )
(Remarks)
This is not to infer that the whole area in the map would suffer an earthquake equivalent to Seismic Intensity 6 or more on the Japanese scale of seven in the concurrence of a single vertical-type earthquake. Although earthquake models in the report generally take a radius of around 30km as the extent of the area which is expected to suffer an earthquake equivalent to Seismic Intensity 6 or more on the Japanese scale of seven in the occurence of a single vertical-type earthquake, the report assumes that the area could be even more localized.
