Caption as given in the above cited source: "Figure 3 - a Tsunami heights at Otanabe (Otanabe Fishing Port), Fudai Village, Iwate Prefecture (with 1:25,000 digital topographic map added from the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan). Circles and triangles indicate runup and inundation heights, respectively. Closed circles and triangles are color coded according to tsunami heights (i.e., 0–10 m blue; 10–20 m green, 20–30 m yellow, 30 m or above red). b Destructive damage outside the coastal levee (Otanabe Fishing Port). c Very minor damage inside the coastal levee (residential district)"

Context as given in the above cited source: "In the Otanabe district of Fudai Village, a 15-m high coastal levee had been constructed between the fishing port area and residential area (Fig. 3). The inundation heights were measured as 8.4 and 8.9 m in the fishing port area, and two runup heights of 10.6 m (class B) and 12.4 m (class C) were measured on the coastal levee (I22–I25). The floodgate, which was closed before the arrival of tsunami, completely protected the residential area from the devastating tsunami, while the outside fishing port area was severely damaged."
