IN-EAST Institute for East Asian Studies This paper recounts the experience of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011 and offers an assessment of reactions to it on personal, social and policy levels. Almost a decade after the event, it looks at traces of the disaster, discussing in particular the following questions. What were the consequences if any for Japan’s energy policy? What other conse- quences were there, for example, concerning crisis management? How did people integrate the earthquake into their view of history? How did the earthquake affect people’s life satisfaction? And how does it relate to current events? It argues that despite its for all concerned unpre- cedented severity the disaster led to gradual improvements, rather than fundamental change. Recollection: a personal view Is ten years ago “history”? To me it is the recent past. In a sense it’s the extended present; it is still with me.

  • Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns After the Great Tohoku Earthquake
    Proceedings of International Symposium on City Planning 2013 Studies on the Urban and Local Level Securement of Disaster Preparedness Functions of Coastal Cities and Towns after the Great Tohoku Earthquake Nozomu Kiuchi* Abstract In the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, in Pacific coastal areas of Tohoku region in Japan, many of the public facilities such as fire department and municipal office, hospital, etc., were severely damaged by tsunami submergence and earthquake vibration. These facilities were supposed to function as disaster preparedness facilities in such occasions, and the result was such that many of the municipalities, during the crisis and the recovery process, lacked all or a part of the disaster preparedness functions and could not react to the situation autonomously. The main purpose of this study is, investigate, from city planning point of view, suggestions to locations and functions of disaster preparedness facilities, from studies of the Great Tohoku Earthquake experience. Many interviews, in addition to document investigations, in 4 tsunami-affected cities and towns were made to person in charge of these facilities on the deprivation and recovery process of the functions. This article will focus on the phenomenon, in urban and local level to secure disaster preparedness functions, that were clarified from investigation of 4 case study municipalities; Ishinomaki City, Minami-Sanriku Town, Ofunato City, and Kamaishi City. As a result, such types of responses were seen and the followings are the suggestion to disaster mitigation city planning. 1) Deprivation, substitution and relocation of functions. 2) Consolidation and dispersal of headquarter functions. 3) Hierarchy of stations for external disaster relief teams.

  • Increasing Incidence of Tuberculosis Infection in the Coastal Region of Northern Miyagi After the Great East Japan Earthquake
    Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2016, 238, 187-195Increasing Incidence of TB Infection after Tohoku Disaster 187 Increasing Incidence of Tuberculosis Infection in the Coastal Region of Northern Miyagi after the Great East Japan Earthquake Masahiro Sakurai,1 Tatsuya Takahashi,1 Miyako Ohuchi,1 Yuki Terui,1 Kouji Kiryu2 and Kazuo Shikano1 1Division of Health and Welfare, Miyagi Prefectural Government, Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan 2Division of Health and Welfare, Metropolitan Government, Tokyo, Japan On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan. Within an hour of the earthquake, devastating tsunamis swept over the coastal region of the Miyagi Prefecture, facing Pacific Ocean. Accordingly, more than 400,000 residents were forced to stay at evacuation shelters. We investigated the changes in tuberculosis prevalence after the disaster. Annual data for all tuberculosis patients between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2013 were extracted from the database of the Miyagi Prefectural Government. In the coastal region of Northern Miyagi, the number of tuberculosis patients increased in the post-disaster period (p < 0.001, 9.6 vs.19.1 per 100,000 people), compared to the pre-disaster period. In contrast, its prevalence did not change in the inland region of Northern Miyagi and the coastal and inland regions of Southern Miyagi. Importantly, in the inland and coastal regions of Northern Miyagi, the number of patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) increased in the post- disaster period (p < 0.001). Furthermore, in the coastal shelters, 11 evacuees with the history of contacting tuberculosis patients were diagnosed with LTBI, whereas no cases of LTBI patients were observed in the inland shelters.

It is now implementing a ten-year reconstruction plan in three phases. The first phase (three years) is restoration to the pre-earthquake status quo. In the second phase (four years), the Prefecture plans to revitalize (upgrade) its infrastructure to where it would have been if the earthquake had never occurred. In the third phase (three years), the Prefecture aims to better fortify itself against future natural disasters. With no model to follow for any of the three phases, Miyagi Prefecture is grappling with difficult challenges on a daily basis. NRI's Fumihiko Kamio spoke to Shinya Endo, head of Miyagi Prefecture's reconstruction program, about the challenges that lie ahead in 2014, the first year of the ten-year plan's revitalization phase.

  • Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake 55
    Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake 55 Assessment of Tsunami Flood Situation from the Great East Japan Earthquake Hidetoshi NAKAJIMA and Mamoru KOARAI Abstract The massive tsunami from the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake (hereinafter referred to as the “Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake”) that occurred on March 11, 2011, caused devastating damages along the Pacific Coast. The GSI immediately formed an emergency team and started investigating to uncover the situation of tsunami damage. We emphasized on promptness in the beginning of the survey, created the "Tsunami flood area overview map" with a purpose of improving the accuracy in our best effort over time, and kept on distributing the maps to the municipalities of the affected areas, the national disaster response headquarters etc, while also releasing this information on the GSI website. In addition to calculating the areas of inundation by the municipalities and by land use, an attempt was made to analyze the distance and elevation reached by tsunami in coastal Miyagi Prefecture. Furthermore, elevation was measured precisely by aerial laser survey mainly on areas where ground subsidence occurred due to the earthquake, and high precision elevation data and the digital elevation topographic map have been prepared/provided. 1. Creating an inundation area overview map There are two types of error cause which are 1.1 Method of creation "interpretation error" and "error in transferring onto Immediately after the tsunami disasters triggered by topographic map". Since single (aerial) photographs are the Tohoku Pacific Coast Earthquake on March 11th, the used for the interpretation, difference in landform GSI decided to create an "Tsunami flood area overview interpretation skills has little effect on the former, whereas map" to find out the situation of tsunami damage, and landform interpretation skills would be required to minimize created a damage overview map and also discussed about the latter.
