2 Forensic Investigation on Great East Japan Earth and Tsunami (GEJET) Meta & Longitudinal Analysis Characteristics of fatalities and losses Comparison with historical events Critical Cause Analysis Analysis of critical causes for human loss expansion caused by delayed Preparation of a question list for human loss vulnerability evaluation Scenario Analysis Estimation of damages and losses caused by of a similar magnitude to GEJET in central Japan. Identification of issues and proposal of measures to of an unexpected magnitude 2
3 Objectives Preliminary effort to conduct FORIN analysis of Great East Japan Earth and Tsunami. Investigate how the delay in from occurred, and how it lead to enormous human losses. Identify critical points for considering vulnerability of communities against human losses caused by delayed from. Outline 1. Overview of the Great East Japan Earth and Tsunami (GEJET) 2. Critical causes analysis of human losses due to delayed 3. Case Study of Rikuzentakata 4. Conclusion 3
4 1. Great East Japan Earth and Tsunami (GEJET) M9.0 earth occurred on March 11, 2011 at 14:46 Massive ground motion was observed throughout Japan Mega of about 1,000 year return period and subsidence led to enormous damages Complex disaster (earth,, nuclear accident) Historic Tsunami Events in the region 1897: [M8.5] 21,959 dead 1933: [M8.1] 3,064 dead or missing Seismic Intensity Japan Meteorological Agency 4

7 2. Critical cause analysis of human losses due to delayed Why were so many people not able to escape from the? Strong ground motion (seismic intensity of 6 or greater) Quake occurred during the day. 30 minutes to 2 hours of time available before arrived. Tohoku region (especially Iwate) have experienced disasters repeatedly in the past Coastal levees had been constructed along much of the coast line Large attack could have been conceivable by people? actions could have been easily taken? Lessons learned in the past not effectively utilized? Misperception about safety existed (people thought disaster will never occur)? The critical points for human losses and delayed were analyzed by reviewing various reports published after GEJET. 7

People who evacuated only after noticing that was approaching didn t evacuate immediately because didn t occur in past earths or never came up to their mind 1 In Miyagi, about half of the people survived thought wouldn t come or didn t think about. Only 4% had seen hazard maps. 2 Source: 1: The Expert Panel on Earth and Tsunami Countermeasures in Light of the Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earth 2: Survey Research Center 宮城県沿岸部における被災地アンケート May
14 CP1 Immediate recognition of necessity to evacuate Critical Point 1 Immediate recognition of necessity to evacuate Evacuated self judged Because the occurred during the day, many were away from home. Instead of evacuating people went searching for their family members. Many of the people that didn t immediately evacuate were out of their homes. Instead of evacuating they went back home or went out to look for their families. 1 The disaster occurred during the day time when family members were scattered. People worried about the safety of their family and moved immediately to get together with their family members. 2 Source: 1: The Expert Panel on Earth and Tsunami Countermeasures in Light of the Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earth 2: Survey Research Center 宮城県沿岸部における被災地アンケート May

Almost 80% evacuated with others, 53% with their family members. 1 Among people who heard warnings clearly from disaster management radio, 70 to 80% felt the necessity to evacuate. 2 Many people lost their lives while convincing or guiding other people to evacuate, including over 300 fire and disaster department staffs, fire fighters and police officers delivering warnings or guiding. 3 Source: 1: The Expert Panel on Earth and Tsunami Countermeasures in Light of the Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earth 2: Survey Research Center 宮城県沿岸部における被災地アンケート May : Fire and Disaster Management Agency, National Police Agency 17

Among those caught in traffic, only 7.3% changed the mean of transportation. 2 Source: 1: The Expert Panel on Earth and Tsunami Countermeasures in Light of the Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earth 2: Survey Research Center 宮城県沿岸部における被災地アンケート May

27 Critical Causes for Human Losses in Rikuzentakata Lack of awareness regarding risks Hazard maps Urban development in areas of high risks Inappropriate designation of 27
28 4.Conclusion The critical causes for human losses vary depending on the physical settings and social characteristics of the communities, and the extent of prevention/preparedness measures (both structural and non structural). The current FORIN template is useful in obtaining the in depth and exhaustive picture of the phenomenon of the disaster and its impact. But to do this in full scale it would require much time and resources. In order to identify critical causes or bottlenecks for certain area, utilization of hierarchical check list as prepared in this study could be useful. An investigation sheet consisting of check list can be prepared for different entities (administrator, community, general public, etc. ) to measure their vulnerability against disasters. Such tool could assist identifying weakness or necessity for future measures. 28

31 Additional Suggestions to FORIN Question List In the GEJET many infrastructure services were impacted in enormous scale. Propagation of damages among infrastructure and its impact to socio economic activities are critical issue. By knowing critical points in damage propagation, effective measures could be implemented to mitigate propagation of damages and to minimizing extent of impacts. Further questions could be added to the FORIN Questions List. What were the consequences of breakdown or malfunctioning of infrastructure networks (e.g., electricity, water supply, sewerage, transportation, communication, health services, educational services, etc)? How did the effect on an infrastructure network propagate to another infrastructure network? How were the economic activities of the affected area impacted and how did it propagate to other areas/regions? What actions were taken in order to compensate the infrastructure or service network failure. How were the infrastructure or service networks restored? 31
