A strong earthquake occurred in the northern part of Miyagi Prefecture on April 30, 1962. It was reported that 369 houses were seriously damaged. This report describes mainly the damage to buildings in the disastrous area which the writers visited to investigate the damage during May 2 to 5. A few remarkable points about the damage were derived from the investigation. 1. It was observed that most of the damaged wooden houses had a small amount of wall located at only one side of the house. 2. A school building built on filled ground was seriously damaged due to an unequal settlement of the foundation. 3. Many cracks were observed on the face of a concrete block store house. This construction was surrounded by reinforced concrete beams at the roof level but the roof was made of wood. Several cracks were found even in the reinforced concrete roof beam.
