Follow the New Year earthquake and the later heavy rain that struck the recovering region. These are separate hazards; the timeline does not suggest that the earthquake caused the rainfall.

Dates without a time use the local date of the event.
A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Noto region, reaching the maximum Japanese seismic intensity of 7.
Magnitude and local shaking intensity measure different things. The figures follow JMA's record.
JMA lifted all tsunami warnings and advisories at 10 a.m. on January 2 after the previous day's earthquake.
Lifting tsunami alerts did not remove earthquake damage or the need for aftershock precautions.
Heavy rain brought flooding and landslides to Noto, and JMA issued its highest-level heavy-rain alert for affected cities.
The affected area was still recovering from January's earthquake, compounding the recovery challenge.
