Japanese scientists have stated that preparations need to be made for a possible eruption at Fuji Volcano. During a panel organized by the Japanese government, measures to be taken in case of a potential eruption at Fuji Volcano were discussed. A report published after the panel noted that it would not be realistic for residents of densely populated Tokyo and surrounding cities to evacuate the area all at once. The report emphasized the need for the government to establish a system to disseminate information and ensure evacuation routes. Emeritus Professor Toshitsugu Fujii from the University of Tokyo, who chaired the panel, mentioned that although Japan has not experienced a widespread volcanic eruption in the past 100 years, the country should already be prepared for such a disaster.
