What Should We Learn From the Japan Earthquake – Preparedness

A massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan, 130 km from Tokyo, at around 2:46pm on March 11 causing huge damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami and even the nuclear leak in Fukushima.

We all know Japan is a country confronts lots of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis for its unique geological location. Ever since the Great Hanshin Earthquake which happened in January 1995 in Kobe city, killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people, the Japanese government has made great efforts to educate the whole nation about how to survive in an earthquake and improve the infrastructure, such as the quality of the buildings, the prediction and alert system of earthquakes.

These efforts finally pay off. We can see how the Japanese unify to pass through this disaster with great discipline. Also much fewer victims than Sichuan Earthquake in 2008 has been reported even though the 1 million Sendai city is right on the corner of the epicenter.
