Overall summaryThe Great Tohoku Earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011, at a high magnitude of 9.0 followed by a subsequent tsunami with waves up to about 40 meters high at the shore. Although the Japanese had an automated tsunami warning system alerting the people of coastal residents to evacuate to high ground, the nuclear accident that happened as a result of the tsunami increased the death toll and number of missing people. This triple catastrophe became one of Japan's most deadly natural hazards, in which survivors to this day are still struggling with the consequence of the disaster. |
