notes

Inferred from bar graphs from the report, hence the numbers are not absolute, also the data should be taken with extreme caution as great discrepancies are found between the national total from the bar graphs and the total from the actual records (for example, the actual records with absolute numbers give a total of collapsed buildingsin all affected areas to be 3579 out of the 8773; the bar graphs shows roughly 2850)

no breakdown of damage level available, the number shown is not particularlly related to that specific damage level, but due to the database structure, the number must be entered into one of the damage level categories.

only total damaged data available, the "0" in all other building type denotes this lack of information, and not the lack of specific type of building type being damaged
