In 2023, the number of people reported missing or killed due to drowning in Japan was estimated at 743. In the same year, only one case was reported for earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. 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.
