This book focuses on three major earthquakes from Japan's modern history. The first is the 1923 Great KantoÌ Earthquake, which struck the capital region. The second is the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, affecting the area between Kobe and Osaka. The third is the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the magnitude 9.0 quake that struck off the Pacific coast of the ToÌhoku region, causing a devastating tsunami and the nuclear accident. While the events of (and around) each of these earthquakes are unique, Professor Iokibe brings his deep expertise and personal experience to each disaster, unveiling not only the disasters themselves but the humanity underneath. In each case, he gives attention and gratitude to those who labored to save lives and restore the communities affected, from the individuals on the scene to government officials and military personnel and emergency responders, in hope that we might learn from the past and move forward with greater wisdom, knowledge, and common purpose"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Emergency management $z Japan. 650 0 $a Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan, 2011. 650 0 $a Kobe Earthquake, Japan, 1995. 650 0 $a Kanto Earthquake, Japan, 1923. 700 1 $a Gonzalez, Tony, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Iokibe, Makoto, 1943- $s Daisaigai no Jidai.
