    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.

  • ABOLITION of NUCLEAR POWER an Appeal from the Catholic Church in Japan
    ABOLITION OF NUCLEAR POWER An Appeal from the Catholic Church in Japan Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan Compilation Committee for Abolition of Nuclear Power Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan Copyright © 2020 - Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan 2-10-10 Shiomi Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-8585 JAPAN Tel. +81-3-5632-4411 / Fax +81-3-5632-4453 Published and Printed in Japan, July 2020 3 Abolish Nuclear Plants Immediately ～Facing the Tragedy of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant Disaster～ To all living in Japan, The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant triggered by the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake contaminated the ocean and land by radiation, and tragically disrupted the daily life of an enormous number of people. Even now, almost one hundred thousand people are evacuated from the neighboring area of the nuclear plant, and numerous people are forced to live in fear and anxiety. With regard to the pros and cons of nuclear plants, we, Japanese bishops, expressed in our message “Reverence for Life – A Message for the Twenty-First Century from the Catholic Bishops of Japan” as follows: It has provided a totally new source of energy for humanity, but as we can see in the destruction of human life in a moment in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the disaster at Chernobyl and the life-threatening criti- cality accident at Tokaimura, it also has the potential to pass huge problems on to future generations. To use it effectively, we need the wisdom to know our limits and exercise the greatest care. In order to avoid tragedy, we must develop safe alternative means of producing en- ergy.1 The “tragedy” in this message was brought about by nothing less than the accident in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant.

  • Green Reconstruction Project Miyagi
    Green Reconstruction Project Miyagi Nature Connection Satoyama Park Ecotourism Trail Exchange Introduction Along the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, many lives and properties were lost, and the natural environment was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and massive tsunami in 2011. Two years have passed and progress has been made in debris removal and the implementation of restoration projects. However, full-fledged reconstruction work in the region is still far from being complete. The Miyagi Prefectural Government hopes to accelerate the ongoing reconstruction work while increasing the number of domestic visitors and in particular, overseas visitors to the affected areas by utilizing the seven projects under the plan“Green Reconstruction Vision: Creating a new Sanriku Fukko (reconstruction) National MPark,” which is being promoted IYAGI by the Ministry of the Environment. To this end, as it develops the“Green Reconstruction Project Miyagi,” the prefectural government will hold interviews with related municipalities and discussions with expert committees, and examine the direction in which projects in the coastal areas should be carried out. The plan will be proposed to the national government and related municipalities. This pamphlet outlines the vision of how“Green Reconstruction Project Miyagi” will be carried out, and also introduces the attractions and the state of recovery efforts along Miyagi’s coasts. We hope you will visit Miyagi Prefecture to learn about the present situation of the disaster-stricken areas and continue

Impacts on Japanese Agriculture and Food Sector Hrabrin Bachev and Fusao Ito On March 11, 2011 the strongest ever recorded in Japan earthquake occurred which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant stations. The triple disaster has been having immense impacts on people’s life, health and property, social infrastructure, economy, policies, natural and institutional environment, etc. in the affected regions, Japan, and beyond. This book is a first attempt to present a comprehensive assessment of the multiple impacts of the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident on the Japanese agriculture and food sector. First, it identifies and assesses diverse impacts (radiation, displacement, health, physiological, production, economic, technological, organizational, environmental, institutional, political, direct, indirect, etc.) of the disasters including all stages (inputs supply, farming, storage, wholesaling, transportation, processing, distribution, retailing, consumption) and components (natural resources, labor, biological and material assets, intangibles, technology, production structure, finance, waste disposal, information, management) of agri-food chain, and all temporal (immediate, short-term, long-term) and spacial (local, regional, national, trans-national) scales. Next, it summarizes responses of individuals, households, farms, businesses, communities, consumers, stakeholders, and authorities as well as assesses the progress and challenges in the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.
