The Tokai earthquakes are major earthquakes that have occurred regularly with an interval of 100 to 150 years in the Tōkai region of Japan. The Tokai segment has been struck by earthquakes in 1498, 1605, 1707 and 1854.[1] Given the historic regularity of these earthquakes, another is expected in the near future, as was first predicted by Kiyoo Mogi in 1969.[2]
Given the magnitude of the last two earthquakes, the next is expected to be at least a magnitude 8, with large areas shaken at an intensity of 7, the highest level in the Japanese intensity scale. Emergency planners are anticipating and preparing for potential scenarios after such an earthquake, including the possibility of thousands of deaths and injuries and millions of damaged buildings. Concern has been expressed over the presence of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant which has been built close to the centre of the expected earthquake

What is the Tokai Earthquake? Beneath the coast within the Suruga Bay area, in front of Mount Fuji and southwest of Tokyo is the Tokai segment. It is in this region that most of the earth’s plates have been breaking into pieces. Historical records show that Tokai segment ruptured in 1498, 1605, 1707 and 1854. It is for this reason that in 1978 government officials passed a legislation declaring the Tokai segment as an “area under intensified measures against earthquake disaster”, also known as the Large-Scale Earthquake Countermeasures Act.
Japan has been preparing for the 21st century great Tokai Earthquake to happen. The 8.8-magnitude quake that rocked Honshu Island in March 11,2011 happened in a different fault line. This is not the Tokai Earthquake. The country is still at risk of being struck by a more powerful earthquake when the Tokai segment ruptures again. A 14-page guidebook has been prepared by the government to educate them on what to do in the event of the great quake...http://journalweek.com/the-tokai-earthquake/
