My comments are not so much a disagreement with Hashimoto’s view that the long‐term probabilities for the Nankai trough may be inflated but instead to provide a somewhat contrasting perspective on why this region should continue to be an area of concern and focused planning, preparedness, and hazard mitigation. We recently commemorated the tenth anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, a...
