just talking outloud
since they have so many narrow streets and dense neighborhoods - with
very few open areas - and lots of electrical wires overhead - and
apparently more cisterns than hydrants - and many 2 or 3 story wood
structures - and probably tons of plastics in every building
if they get hit with a 9.3 earthquake - their streets will all be
filled with debris and collapsed buildings and power lines
if the power goes out immediately - then perhaps there will be very
few ignition sources - whatever fires break out can possibly be
contained by water scooping helos - the helos can scoop from the bay
and from rivers and maybe from a couple of open sources - maybe the
airport in the west needs a couple of large tankers and portable fire
ponds that helos can scoop from
for rescue efforts to proceed - they will probably need hundreds of
bulldozers and loaders and cranes - I am not sure where they will get
them from - its not like they are a mining region with lots of
bulldozers laying around - perhaps they need a nationwide plan to get
bulldozers to Tokyo in a hurry
maybe they need to equip all of their pumpers with snow (debris) plows
- maybe they could rig up some sort of primitive V shaped plows so
they can get thru debris filled streets
I wonder if the City owns any snow plows? I dont thnk they get very much snow
Answer - https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/01/japan-snow-country/426738/
- snow is rare in Tokyo - 2 inches shut down the city in 2016 - other
parts of the country have no problem handling snow - one city has hot
water sprinklers in the middle of roads
once the roads get opened up - the ambulances and rescue crews can
swarm into Tokyo to help the victims - if they are still alive
