    Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Monday, March 14, 2011 Note: New content has been inserted in red, italicized, bold font. Overview A powerful 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on Friday (March 11) (the earthquake has since been upgraded to 9.0 magnitude by Japan’s Meteorological Agency) at 1446 local time (0546 GMT), unleashing massive tsunami waves that crashed into Japan’s eastern coast of Honshu, the largest and main island of Japan, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. According to the Government of Japan (GoJ) as of Monday (March 14), at 1 least 1,647 people are confirmed dead, 1,990 people are injured and some 10,000 people are reported to be missing, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported. The UN says that it is expected that the numbers are likely to increase as emergency teams begin to reach some affected areas . The earthquake sparked widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific that stretched from Japan to North and South America. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the shallow quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 km) (20 km deep according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency), around 80 miles (125 km) off the eastern coast of Japan, and 240 miles (380 km) northeast of Tokyo. It was reportedly the largest recorded quake in Japan’s history and the fifth largest in the world since 1900. The quake was also felt in Japan’s capital city, Tokyo, located hundreds of miles from the epicenter and was also felt as far away as the Chinese capital Beijing, some 1,500 miles away.

Together with collaborating organizations from many countries and staff with a broad array of specializations, the IRIDeS conducts world-leading research on natural disaster science and disaster mitigation. Based on the lessons from the 2011 Great East Japan (Tohoku) Earthquake and Tsunami disaster, the IRIDeS aims to become a world center for the research/ study of disasters and disaster mitigation, learning from and building upon past lessons in disaster management from Japan and others around the world. Throughout, the IRIDeS should contribute to on- going recovery/reconstruction efforts in areas affected by the 2011 tsunami, conducting action-oriented research and pursuing effective disaster management to build a sustainable and resilient society. The 3rd United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 will be held on 14-18 March 2015 in Sendai City, one of the areas seriously damaged due to the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami. The IRIDeS shall play an important role at the conference as an academic organization located in the hosting city. Drafting of this report, focusing on the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in terms of the core indicators of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, is one of the contributory activities to the forthcoming event.

  • 2018 Ishinomaki a to Z Vol.5
    A preface This is the volume 5 of “Ishinomaki A to Z”. We are happy to have this great opportunity to tell you about our city, Ishinomaki. Before the introduction of this book, let’s look back on the previous 4 versions we have issued. Their themes were… Vol 1. “Great East Japan Earthquake” (in 2015) Vol 2. “Attractions in Ishinomaki” (in 2016) Vol 3. “Tradition in Ishinomaki” (in 2017) Vol 4. “To deepen Ishinomaki” (in 2018) We hope you all enjoyed them. And this time, in the Vol 5, we set the theme as “Heroes and Heroines in Ishinomaki.” Our reason for choosing this theme is that there are a lot of people and things that support our lives and give us a lot of power. And we believe every one of them is a “hero” or a “heroine.” The heroes and heroines in this book are just some examples out of countless ones, but we’re sure this book will deepen your understanding of Ishinomaki and make you become more attracted to Ishinomaki. こちらは『Ishinomaki A to Z』の第５弾です。今回も私たちの町についてお伝 えする機会をもてたことを嬉しく思います。 この本についての紹介の前に，これまでの４作品について振り返ってみましょ う。それぞれのテーマは… 第１弾「東日本大震災」 第２弾「石巻の魅力」 第３弾「石巻の伝統」 第４弾「石巻のより深い理解」 でした。 これまでの４作品を楽しんでいただけていれば幸いです。そして今回の第５弾で は，私たちは「石巻の英雄」というテーマを設定しました。このテーマを選んだ 理由は，私たちの生活を支え，また私たちにたくさんの力を与えてくれる人々， ものが石巻には多く存在しているからです。そして，私たちは，それらのひとり ひとり，ひとつひとつが「英雄」だと考えています。この本に紹介しているのは， 数ある中のほんの一例に過ぎませんが，私たちはこの本が石巻への理解をより深 め，また石巻の魅力を感じてもらえるものと確信しています。 Akai Ibuki Daiko and Students Do you know Akai Ibuki Daiko?

  • Development of Traffic Management System for Tohoku Main Line And
    FEATURED ARTICLES Latest Developments for Safe and Reliable Railways Development of Traff ic Management System for Tohoku Main Line and Senseki Line Using Virtualization Hitachi adopted virtualization for a traff ic management system for the first time when it undertook the integration of the systems for the Tohoku Main Line and Senseki Line. Along with hardware consolidation, the systems were integrated in a way that satisfied the customer’s requirements, including the use of multiple guests on the virtualization platform to enable an earlier commencement of operation on the Senseki Line so as to minimize the risks associated with switching to the new system, and the provision of a training environment in a timely manner with respect to the development schedule. The realtime virtualization platform adopted for the project delivered the realtime control performance, high availability, and ease of maintenance demanded of a traff ic management system. Configuring the system on a virtualization platform also helps minimize life cycle costs by making it possible to reduce the amount of development work needed during future equipment upgrades. Kazuho Nakajima Noriyuki Kikuchi Yoshitaka Ishikawa Sadao Niitsuma Takeshi Takebayashi Takuya Tsujikawa runs from Sendai Station on the Tohoku Main Line to Ishinomaki Station on the Senseki Line.
