In 2020, the number of people reported missing or killed due to storms and floods in Japan was estimated at 107. In the same year, no cases were reported for earthquakes, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions. Storms and floods were the natural disasters that caused the highest number of fatalities and missing people in that year. 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.
