(a) The rupture area of the 11 March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, including 5m and 30m fault slip contours (Lee et al., 2011). The epicenter of the main shock (star) and the area in which people were interviewed (red rectangle) are shown. The arrival times of the large tsunami waves at tide gauge stations (black circles) are shown in local time (UT+9 h). These waves arrived at inner-bay towns 3–5 min later.

(b) Inundation heights (m) along the Tohoku coast for the 16 June 1896 Mt = 8.2, 3 March 1933 Mw = 8.3, and 23 May 1960 Mw = 9.5 (Chile) tsunamis (Usami, 2003).

(c) The wave heights of the tsunami following the 11 March 2011 Mw = 9.0 earthquake (2011 Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Joint Survey Group, No. 4 in Table 1).

(d) The estimated death rate (%) in the inundated areas of each municipality, following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The number of deaths and missing persons in each municipality and the inundation areas are provided by the Statistics Bureau and the Director General for Policy Planning of Japan (DGPPJ) (No. 4 in Table 1).

(e) The heights of breakwaters and tsunami waves at the corresponding sites (the Central Disaster Prevention Council, Cabinet Office, No. 11 in Table 1). Only in the northernmost areas were the breakwaters higher than the incoming tsunami waves, but the tsunami still flooded through gaps in the breakwaters (Iwate prefecture office)."
