The Era of Great Disasters delves into the modern disaster response in Japan, encompassing a comprehensive examination of seismic preparations and regulations, immediate emergency protocols at national, prefectural, and city levels, and ongoing efforts to rebuild and prepare for future calamities. This insightful book specifically focuses on three significant earthquakes that have shaped Japan's modern history. The first is the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, which struck the capital region, causing widespread devastation. The second is the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, which impacted the area between Kobe and Osaka, resulting in significant loss of life and infrastructure damage. The third is the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, a magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region, triggering a devastating tsunami and nuclear accident. While each of these earthquakes has its unique characteristics, Professor Iokibe, with his extensive expertise and personal experiences, brings a profound understanding to each disaster. Through his narratives, he not only sheds light on the tragic events but also highlights the resilience and humanity displayed by individuals, government officials, military personnel, and emergency responders who worked tirelessly to save lives and restore communities. By examining these disasters, Professor Iokibe aims to impart valuable lessons from the past and foster a sense of wisdom, knowledge, and common purpose to help mitigate the impact of future catastrophes.
