4,000 take part in Mt Fuji eruption drill Nearly 4,000 residents in 26 cities, towns and villages in Shizuoka, Yamanashi and Kanagawa prefectures around the mountain took part in the first-ever such drill, said a disaster management official for the Shizuoka prefectural government. On Sept 27, Mt Ontake, some 120 kilometers Mt Fuji, erupted without warning—killing 56 people and leaving at least seven others missing in Japan’s deadliest eruption for almost 90 years. Mochizuki said the Mt Fuji exercise had been planned for three years. “But because of the (Ontake) eruption, we are conducting the drill in a serious atmosphere.”
