Central Japan International Airport serving Nagoya city said Monday it has drawn up a new disaster preparedness manual that assumes for the first time that a tsunami could overrun the protective seawall surrounding the airport on a man-made island in Ise Bay.

The airport in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture is now assuming the possibility of tsunami overrunning its seawall, which ranges 5 to 7 meters in height, having previously prepared for tsunami of up to 4.1 meters.

The airport revised its manual prior to the central government's amendment of guidelines in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan, including Sendai Airport.

The airport said it has begun handing out copies of the manual to businesses operating inside its premises.
