What to check before you rent or buy
- Not coloured means the Geospatial Information Authority tile has no flood colour here. Some prefecture-managed rivers are missing from that dataset.
- No national liquefaction tile. Check the municipal hazard map before you offer. This screen does not paint liquefaction.
- Straight-line distance, not the walk.
