Tsunami 10 years later: Is the world better prepared for disaster? - CBS News
With that knowledge in hand, scientists can create better maps of where hazards might occur, governments can target resources to these vulnerable areas and community leaders can raise awareness."This is definitely more prevalent," Jaffe said of using the geological records to project future tsunamis. The evacuation routes are clearly marked and remnants of several buildings and even a crumpled car serve as reminders of the tsunami's power.And every time the coastal town is hit by a dangerous storm, residents said they take no chances

(USGS, 11.03.11) According to scientists Japan has moved approximately 8 feet (2.4m) closer to North America and the force of the quake has caused the Earth to shift between 4 and 6.5 inches (10-16cm) on its axis. Other considerations Teachers should perhaps take a lead from students at the start of the lesson to assess the possible focus: What do they know? What would they like to know? What should they know? If we are having a debate about core knowledge in geography, should 'tsunami' be included? Remember geographical enquiry - when choosing stimulus material identify appropriate images that offer potential for research and reflection

Earthquake Causes Nuclear Disaster What's more, cooling systems in one of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in the Fukushima prefecture on the east coast of Japan failed shortly after the earthquake, causing a nuclear crisis. Developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) along with countries who use nuclear energy, the scale defines level 7 as a nuclear accident that involves "widespread health and environmental effects" and the "external release of a significant fraction of the reactor core inventory." Almost two months later, the IAEA called the status of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant "very serious." At a news conference on March 13, Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who later gave the disaster the name "Great East Japan Earthquake", emphasized the gravity of the situation: "I think that the earthquake, tsunami, and the situation at our nuclear reactors makes up the worst crisis in the 65 years since the war
