In 2021, the number of people reported missing or killed due to snow in Japan was estimated at 145. In the same year, no cases were reported for earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions. Snow was the natural disaster that caused the highest number of fatalities and missing people in that year, followed by storms and floods. 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.
