THE TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI
THE M9.0 EARTHQUAKE AND THE ACCOMP-ANYING TSUNAMI WERE CAUSED BY THE ONGOING SUBDUCTION OF THE PACIFIC AND EURASIAN TECTONIC PLATES.
![Page 9: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

MARCH 11, 2011
![Page 11: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE TSUNAMI ARRIVED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER:
3:01 PM, MARCH 11, 2011
![Page 12: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI

THE RESULT: A CATASTROPHE
• Japan’s social, technical, administrative, political, legal, health care, and economic systems were tested to their limits by the socio-economic impacts of the earthquake and tsunami, the radiation, and the harsh weather..

THE TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE IS NOW A M9.0 EVENT
The MEGA-earthquake, which struck at 2:46 pm on Friday, March 11th, could have caused a disaster….

THE EARTHQUAKE IS NOW A M9.0 EVENT
…BUT JAPAN was well prepared to cope with it.

A 7-10 M TSUNAM FOLLOWED IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES
Japan was also well prepared to cope with a tsunami, but ….

A 7-10 M TSUNAM FOLLOWED IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
This tsunami was devastating, inun-dating towns, im-mobilizing airports and roads, destroy-ing buildings, and moving everything (e.g., people, cars) in its path as debris.

THE TSUNAMI TRANSFORMED A DISASTER INTO A CATASTROPHE

DIMENSIONS OF THE CATASTROPHE
WIDE SPREAD DAMAGE AND LOSS OF FUNCTION
MORTALITY ( IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS)
“A NIGHTMARE NUCLEAR DISASTER ”
HUGE ECONOMIC LOSSES

SOCIETAL IMPACTS
• Ground shaking from the main shock (which lasted about 300 seconds) and more than 150 aftershocks (many in the M6+ range) damaged homes, buildings, essential facilities, nuclear facilities, and critical lifelines (e.g., transportation infrastructure) over a wide area.
![Page 24: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SOCIETAL IMPACTS
• The tsunami, which following within about 15 minutes, changed Japan’s coast lines, inundated land and urban areas, swept people and cars away, left tons of debris, created the potential for water borne diseases, hindered search and rescue operations, and stalled Japan’s economic productivity.
![Page 25: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
URGENT NEED FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE
• With so many people (about 20,000) missing over a wide area after the tsunami, Search and rescue was a moral imperative and an urgent need.
![Page 26: DISASTER EMERGENCY RESPONSE A FOCUS ON SEARCH AND RESCUE AFTER A TSUNAMI Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db15503460f94a9f941/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Immediately after the earthquake and tsunami,
the Japanese Government began implementing its post- disaster response plans in a
highly-charged, possible “nightmare nuclear disaster”
environment.
