Liquefaction Damage of the Tonegawa Basin Caused by the 2011 Off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan LIQUEFACTION DAMAGE OF THE TONEGAWA BASIN CAUSED BY THE 2011 OFF THE PACIFIC COAST OF TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE Shigeki SENNA1 , Nobusuke HASEGAWA2 , Takahiro MAEDA3, Hiroyuki FUJIWARA4 1 Researcher, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Tsukuba, Japan, [email protected] 2 Researcher, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Tsukuba, Japan, [email protected] 3 Researcher, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Tsukuba, Japan, [email protected] 4 Project Director, National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Tsukuba, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: By the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, a large number of liquefaction occurred in the Tone river basin. By this liquefaction, serious damage including the cutoff of the lifeline, the destruction of the house basics and the nonequivalent subsidence occurred. The liquefaction damage taken up by the news was a small portion. Then we carried out a local survey for the purpose of catching perspective of the liquefaction damage in the Tone river basin. It was almost the artificial ground where filled up pond and river that intense liquefaction was seen. The ground hazard by liquidizing was known from of old. It was recognized again to cause an extensive ground hazard by liquidizing in this earthquake. It is thought that liquidizing is generated by the earthquake in the future again. Next, we compared our data with the liquefaction locations, the geomorphologic classification of the regions, seismic intensity distribution, and liquefaction probability value in the Kanto district in the report published by the Committee for Analysis of Liquefaction in the off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, chaired by the author and organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

Section 5 Initiatives to Promote National Resilience (PDF:906.2KB)
“Creating regional disaster management capabilities”: TOHATSU Co., Ltd. TOHATSU develop and manufacture portable fire pumps that are “small, lightweight and compact.” They are also used by Japanese fire brigades. The portable fire pump enables quick fire-extinguishing activities at a fire site at the end of a path inaccessible to fire engines and helps improve the disaster risk reduction capabilities of the region. Raindrops or snowflakes Weather radars are used to observe globally via the use of a The larger the droplet or snowflake, the rotating antenna stronger the emitted radio wave. The frequency changes depending on the movement of the droplets or snowflakes. Weather radar “Easy-to-assemble safe and secure toilet booth of storage type for disasters”: Kawahara Technical Research Co., Ltd. Kawahara Technical Research have developed a public private toilet booth that is mostly made of paper and can be easily assembled. Biological agents placed in a septic tank reduce the risk of infectious diseases. The public private toilet booth is lightweight and able to assemble easily, even by two women, without using tools. Section 5: Initiatives to Promote National Resilience 5-1 Decision of the National Resilience Annual Plan for 2019 The government reviewed the National Resilience Basic Plan (Decided at the cabinet meeting on December 14, 2018) and decided the first Annual Plan, “National Resilience Annual Plan for 2019” (hereinafter referred to as “Annual Plan 2019”) on June 11, 2019.

Countermeasures for Water-Quality Preservation of Lake Kasumigaura
Countermeasures for water-quality preservation of Lake Kasumigaura １ Causes of water quality deterioration in Lake Kasumigaura Water quality deterioration factors in Lake Kasumigaura can be classified into two main categories. The first is the external input of organic matter, N and P. Domestic wastewater, industrial effluents, animal husbandry (e.g., cattle, swine) and run-off from agricultural fields and urban areas in the basin are potential sources of pollutant loads into inflowing rivers. Natural loads from forests and precipitation (into the lake surface), as well as from carp farming, should be also considered. The other category is the release of N and P from the bottom sediment of the lake.Phytoplankton grows actively in the lake using the N and P from the aforementioned sources as nutrients. Massive growth of phytoplankton can cause an increase in COD, decrease in transparency, and odor (due to the decay of dead phytoplankton) in lake water. In summary, riverine loads of pollutants and release of N and P from bottom sediment, as well as massive growth of phytoplankton in lake, result in the deterioration of water quality in Lake Kasumigaura.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Co
Scheduled Blackouts and Energy Conservation Request 3/13/2011 - Tokyo Electric Power Company Co. Ltd. The earthquake that occurred off the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Tohoku region of Japan on the 11th of March has heavily impacted facilities such as the No. 1 and No. 2 Nuclear power plants in Fukushima as well as various other power plants and power distribution facilities. The Tokyo Electric Power Company is in an extremely critical situation in regard to maintaining the current demand for electricity in various regions. So far Tokyo Electric Power Company has tried to provide a stable power supply to the best of our abilities through extra electrical supplies from other electric power companies. The Japanese Government has also called upon citizens and companies in Japan to conserve energy as much as possible. However, considering the extremely critical situation of meeting the expected demand and to avoid unpredictable large-scale blackouts we will implement scheduled blackouts starting tomorrow. We have been trying to avoid blackouts to our upmost ability and therefore deeply apologize to all our customers for causing inconvenience and worries. The Tokyo Electric Power Company will be taking measures of the highest possible degree to work quickly towards restoring a stable supply of electricity to its customers. For Monday 14th of March: Time slots and areas for the expected scheduled blackouts are outlined below. The actual blackout times for each group are expected to last approximately 3 hours.

Vertical Facility List
Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
