A devastating earthquake with M_w 7.7 rocked the Kachchh District, Gujarat State, India on January 26,2001. This earthquake was the most deadly in India's recorded history. As of March 20,about two months after the earthquake, official figures from Government of India placed the death toll at 20,005 with 166,000 injured and 247 missing. The number of destroyed houses is estimated at 370,000 and damaged houses at 920,000 with 600,000 people left homeless. Because of the compressional stress resulting from India's northward collision with Asia, the Kachchh Peninsula has a long history of strong earthquakes. The Monbu-Kagaku-sho (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) in Japan dispatched a survey team to Gujarat for investigating seismological aspects of this earthquake and evaluating the earthquake damage. This is a preliminary report by the survey team. A final report that contains more detailed information will be published in the near future.
