Importance of the Inherited Memories of Great Tsunami Disasters in Natural Disaster Reduction
Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan IMPORTANCE OF THE INHERITED MEMORIES OF GREAT TSUNAMI DISASTERS IN NATURAL DISASTER REDUCTION Akenori SHIBATA Professor Emeritus, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The two gigantic tsunamis, the 869 Jogan tsunami and the 1611 Keicho tsunami, which had attacked the Sendai plain prior to the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake/ tsunami, are reflected. Pioneering works in the historical field by Mr. Y. Iinuma and in the scientific field by Prof. K. Minoura are introduced. To mitigate the damages by natural disaster, the knowledge on the past natural disasters occurred in an area should be properly shared by the people in that area. Necessity of the continued education on disaster reduction in schools and in regional societies is pointed out. Key Words: Great East Japan earthquake, Jogan tsunami, Keicho tsunami, disaster mitigation, disaster education INTRODUCTION The gigantic tsunami caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake gave enormous disaster to the wide coastal areas from Aomori Pref. to Ibaragi Pref. on the Pacific Ocean. The damages to Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Pref. were especially large. The Sanriku ria coast areas in Iwate and in northern Miyagi have been exposed to frequent attack of large tsunamis and the people in those areas have been quite aware of tsunami disasters. On the other hand, the long flat coasts in southern Miyagi and in Fukushima had few experience of large tsunami in these several hundred years, by which reason very few people there had expected the attack of tsunami before the gigantic tsunami of 2011. -
