Abstract
On 5 May 2023, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck the coast of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The earthquake caused 48 human casualties and damage to 1,685 houses. This report presents a summary of the earthquake and geotechnical damage, based on field surveys conducted immediately after the earthquake as well as information collected by local government and the mass media. As a result, the causes of damage to houses and water outages, and the characteristics of the earthquake ground motion are shown. In addition, the outline of damage caused by the ground failure, such as road closures, slope failures, and liquefaction, is clarified.
