A natural disaster struck Japan in 2011. An earthquake generated a devastating tsunami that impacted the country. The twin disasters of an earthquake followed by a tsunami caused widespread damage in Japan during 2011.

EQECAT seismic and engineering experts discuss the recent M9 Tohoku Pacific Offshore earthquake that has impacted northern Honshu island. Occurring Friday March 11 (local time), this massive earthquake occurred on the Japan Trench megathrust fault, triggering ground motions felt through most of Honshu Island and up to Hokkaido and a tsunami with waves up to 23 feet high in places along the Japanese coast, and tsunami damages that extended to Hawaii and the US mainland Pacific coast.

The document discusses the establishment of a tsunami warning system in the Indian Ocean following the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Key points include: 1) Several countries installed pressure gauges in the ocean to directly detect tsunami wave movement and share data with meteorological agencies. 2) Scientists study past earthquakes and tsunamis to simulate scenarios and choose the most appropriate forecast when a tsunami occurs. 3) The Japan Meteorological Agency initially provided tsunami forecasts for countries around the Indian Ocean, but responsibility has transitioned to Regional Tsunami Watch Providers consisting of local countries. 4) Challenges remain in fully informing all people of warnings and establishing comprehensive evacuation plans
