Mount Usu tremors cause
8,000 Japanese to evacuate
Mount Usu threatens to erupt
TOKYO (AP) — Three towns near a volcano that
was in danger of erupting in northern Japan ordered
the evacuation of8,000 people as increasingly pow
erful tremors shook the region Wednesday.
The order was issued an hour after an earthquake
with a preliminary magnitude of 4.2 was recorded
near Mount Usu on Japan's northernmost main is
land of Hokkaido. It was the most powerful of the
more than 1,000 tremors that have shaken the snow-
covered volcano over the last three days, in w hat vol
canologists said is a sign of impending eruption.
Hundreds of villagers had already voluntarily
abandoned their homes. Local officials reportedly
fear an eruption could trigger deadly mudslides.
Mount Usu, 475 miles north ofTokyo, last erupt
ed in 1978, killing two and destroying 196 homes.
Japan’s Meteorological Agency issued a state
ment today that an eruption was possible “within
several days,” heightening the urgency of an initial
warning issued Tuesday.
Three towns with a combined population of
51,300 are near the 2,416-foot mountain.
Authorities in the tow ns of Date, Sobetsu and
Abuta Wednesday ordered the evacuation of 3,832
homes considered dangerously close to the volcano,
said Takashi Odajima. a disaster-prevention official
with Hokkaido’s government.
The mountain s seismic tremors have escalated
in frequency and strength, according to the Meteo
rological Agency, though no major injuries or dam
age have been reported.
The Date town office has been flooded with tele
phone calls from residents asking about evacuation
procedures and volcano updates as the mountain
continued to spew out smokes and steam.
“We are worried,” Date spokesperson Katsuhiro
Morita said. “Especially these frequent low rum
blings make us feel uneasy.”
Mount Usu is also a sightseeing and hiking area.
Hokkaido government official Toshikazu Azumada
said that three hiking trails have been all closed off.
Eight-thousand people were
ordered to evacuate from
three towns near snow-
covered Mount Uso on
Wednesday as powertul
tremors continue to shake the
region. Japan's Meteorological
Agency warns that a
volcanic eruption Is "V
