- Wayne Greene gave a presentation on emergency preparedness lessons from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
- Japan's emergency response was well organized, but local governments were overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster.
- The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster highlighted issues with Japan's nuclear regulatory system and TEPCO's preparedness.
- A parliamentary panel later found systemic problems in government and industry culture that hindered the initial response.
The document discusses the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan. It began with a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on January 17, 1995 that caused widespread destruction. Over 6,000 people lost their lives and hundreds of thousands of buildings were damaged or destroyed. The earthquake was caused by movement on a fault line between tectonic plates under Kobe, where pressure had built up over 50 years. The Japanese response to the earthquake showed how infrastructure like roads, bridges and utilities could be repaired relatively quickly through coordinated recovery efforts.
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011. It caused widespread damage along the coast, including over 15,000 deaths and the melting down of nuclear reactors. The earthquake was the most powerful to hit Japan and one of the five most powerful in the world since record keeping began. It generated a large tsunami with waves over 10 meters high in some areas, which destroyed coastal cities and towns and carried debris inland.

Cooperative Insurance as a Mitigation Device against Natural Disaster - Zenrosai’s Natural Disaster Insurance

Japan experiences frequent earthquakes due to its location on tectonic plates that push together. It has a long history of deadly quakes and tsunamis, including one in 1923 that killed over 100,000 people. As a result, Japan has developed extensive disaster preparation measures like strict building codes, early warning systems, and frequent evacuation drills to minimize damage and save lives. These precautions show that Japan is the world's most prepared country for earthquakes and tsunamis.
Earthquakes are caused by the rapid release of energy in the earth's crust from tectonic plate movement. Japan experiences frequent earthquakes due to its location near the boundary of the Pacific and Philippine tectonic plates. Earthquakes can cause severe environmental damage through agriculture and infrastructure destruction as well as economic impacts from rebuilding costs and loss of life. Graphs and maps in the document show the increasing frequency and impact of earthquakes in Japan over time.
The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 in Tokyo, Japan was a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake that caused massive damage and loss of life. It occurred at lunchtime on September 1st when many people were cooking over open fires, leading to widespread fires when infrastructure like water mains were damaged. Over 105,000 people were killed and entire neighborhoods were destroyed. The earthquake had lasting impacts, leading to improved building codes and disaster preparedness in Japan.
The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 in Tokyo, Japan was a 7.9 magnitude quake that caused massive damage:
- It occurred on September 1, 1923 at 11:58 AM along the borders of the Philippine Sea and Okhotsk plates.
- The earthquake and resulting fires destroyed Tokyo, killing over 105,000 people and leaving over 1.9 million homeless.
- The fires were especially devastating, burning for two days and killing over 38,000 people taking shelter at an army depot.

- The earthquake and resulting fires destroyed Tokyo, killing over 105,000 people and leaving over 1.9 million homeless.
- The fires were especially devastating, burning for two days and killing over 38,000 people taking shelter at an army depot.
Earthquake preparedness can significantly reduce damage and losses. Having early warning systems, constructing earthquake resistant buildings according to building codes, and educating the public on safety measures can help minimize harm. Japan's earthquake early warning system issues alerts through TV, phones, and internet, allowing people to take shelter quickly. A semiconductor manufacturer in Japan saw losses reduced from over $15 million to $200,000 after installing the early warning system and retrofitting buildings. Earthquake preparedness presents business opportunities in areas like early warning systems, retrofitting, and rising insurance demand.
1) In March 2011, a magnitude 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, causing a nuclear crisis. The plant was flooded and cooling systems failed, resulting in explosions.
2) Over 100,000 residents near the plant were evacuated and radiation affected an area 25 miles away. There were no immediate deaths but ongoing health and environmental issues have resulted.
3) Contaminated water continues to leak into the Pacific Ocean from the plant at a rate of 300 tons per day, contaminating the environment. Japan sought international assistance to address the crisis and find long-term solutions.
Japan experiences frequent earthquakes due to its location near tectonic plate boundaries. Several major earthquakes have struck Japan in recent decades, including the 1995 Kobe earthquake which killed over 6,000 people and caused $200 billion in damage. Other significant quakes include the 2005 Fukuoka and Miyagi earthquakes, as well as the 2007 Noto Peninsula and Chuetsu offshore earthquakes, demonstrating that earthquakes can occur across Japan. The government invests heavily in earthquake-resistant infrastructure and early warning systems to reduce risks and impacts.
This document discusses natural disaster risks and provides examples of some of the largest earthquakes in the world. It summarizes key details about major earthquakes such as the magnitude, location, date, and impacts. These include the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that caused over 230,000 deaths in Indonesia, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan that resulted in over 15,000 fatalities, and the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China that led to around 88,000 deaths. The document also outlines international frameworks for disaster risk reduction, including the Hyogo Framework and Sendai Framework, and principles of building resilience through approaches like ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction.
Tsunami and Earthquake Report and analysis (March 25 2011)tedxearthquake90
This report summarizes damage from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. [1] Over 27,498 people were killed or missing, with highest casualties in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures. [2] The inspection of Kamaishi city found 458 deaths and 470 missing people. While infrastructure and homes were heavily damaged, residents displayed a strong spirit of resilience and determination to recover. [3] The report recommends more efficient distribution of relief aid and economic support to help the region rebuild.
The document discusses how seismic waves from earthquakes travel and cause shaking of the ground. There are two main types of seismic waves - body waves and surface waves. Body waves include P-waves and S-waves, while surface waves include Love waves and Rayleigh waves. S-waves and surface waves cause the most damage to structures through their vertical and horizontal shaking motions. Seismic waves are measured using seismographs, which contain sensors to detect the ground motions and recorders to document the measurements.
This document summarizes 3 scenarios for rebuilding housing in Kamaishi after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Scenario 1 rebuilds the 1512 houses that were damaged. Scenario 2 constructs 64 artificial ground complexes and 15 hillside houses. Scenario 3 rebuilds 1268 damaged houses, adds emergency pods, and builds 15 hillside houses. The emergy requirements in exajoules are provided for each scenario, with Scenario 2 requiring the most emergy at 29.4 exajoules. A timeline shows when the scenarios would require additional emergy for maintenance or rebuilding after future tsunamis.
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused widespread damage. A powerful magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that devastated many coastal towns in northern Japan. Some towns, like Rikuzentakata, were nearly wiped off the map by tsunami waves over 20 meters high, leaving little more than piles of rubble. The earthquake and tsunami displaced over 300,000 people and caused shortages of essential supplies for survivors. Damage varied between towns, with some being rebuilt while others were not.
The document discusses transparency and oversight of political party financing. It finds that financial contributions to political parties are not fully transparent and are still vulnerable to political and foreign influence. Additionally, financial reports from political parties are not always publicly available or submitted on time according to regulations.

The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

1968 Tokachi-oki Earthquake (M7.9: 52 dead)
1978 Miyagi-ken-oki Earthquake (M7.4: 28 dead)
1981Revision of Building Standard Law
requirements:
No damage against medium scale (JMA scale 5+) earthquakes,
To be able to continue use after these medium earthquakes.
No collapse & safety of people inside against large scale(JMA scale 6+ to 7)
earthquakes
JMA scale 5+ ⇒ almost equivalent to Mercalli scale VII
JMA scale 6+ to 7 ⇒ almost equivalent to Mercalli scale VIII to IX
1995 Hanshin-Awaji(Kobe) Earthquake (M7.3: 6,347 dead)
1995 Revision of Building Standard (encourage metal reinforcement to wood joints)
2000 Revision of Building Standard (ground strength check made mandatory)

28. Earthquake Resistance Enforcement of
Private Housing
In 2008, 17% of private housing stock in Sendai City was below seismic
standard of 1981.
Urgent need to improve the earthquake resistance of private housing stock
to save lives. ⇒Policy package for Earthquake Resistance of Houses
Policy Target : more than 90% of private housing to be above seismic
standard by 2015.
1st Step : Subsidy to Earthquake Resistance Analysis of Private Housing
Private owners of detached wooden structure house built before 1981 can get
earthquake resistance analysis with minimal fee (JPY14,580~JPY17,280)
Private owners of condominiums built before 1981 can get earthquake resistance
analysis 50% subsidy as a group.
