1 The 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake Interviewing insights regarding the high fatalities inflicted by the earthquake Masataka Ando 1, Mizuho Ishida 2, Yoshinari Hayashi 3 and Chiharu Mizuki 4 1.

2 2011 m 3 historical tsunamis struck the region. Lee et al
3 Why were there so many deaths in Tohoku? Since the tsunamis of 1896, 1933 and 1960, 1. Numerous breakwaters, evacuation stairways and shelters, communication systems were constructed, and 2. Tsunami evacuation drills were carried out and hazard maps were distributed to local residents. 3
4 Taro, Miyako city 4
5 Kamaishi bay breakwater 60m high above the sea bottom 5
6 Disaster Management Radio Communications 1. Radio + Butteries 2. Daily use 6
7 Despite these constructions and preparedness efforts, the March 11 Tohoku earthquake caused numerous fatalities. 7
8 Evacuation behaviors Most residents did not immediately evacuate, partly influenced by results from earthquake sciences. 8

26 Means of evacuation Bicycles 5% Cars walk 16% No 10% Walk 39% About 50 % of survivors used cars for evacuation, which caused sever traffic jams and a number of tsunami victims. Cars 30% 26
27 Evacuation behaviors Residents are unwilling to evacuate since they believed tsunamis rare. Many residents started evacuating after seeing or knowing tsunami approaching. Many cars were used for evacuation: which were sometimes effective, but in most cases caused fatal traffic jams. 27
28 Responsibility of earthquake scientists Incorrect earthquake forecast based on a short history Oversight of the large slip deficit on the plate interface Current observation systems and abilities were not fully used for tsunami warning 28
29 Concluding remarks 1. The earthquake magnitudes and their hi resultant hazards assessed and publicized by the government are smaller presence to give rise compared to what occurred. 2. The first tsunami warning issued was for 3m in Iwate and Fukushima and 6m in Miyagi. yg This was the only warning that 44% of the interviewees received due to theimmediate destruction of the regional power supply. 29
30 3. The JMA had issued 16 warnings or alerts of tsunamis for Japan s islands in the last 4 years. These frequent warnings with overestimated tsunami height influenced the behavior of the residents % of the local residents above 55 years old experienced the 1960 Chile tsunami, which was significantly smaller than the March 11 tsunami. This sense based on their previous experience put their lives at very high risk. 30
31 5. Some inhabitants assumed, with the presence of a breakwater, only slight flooding would occur and moving to the second floor at home was sufficient. 6. Many interviewees did not understand the generation of tsunamis. Some people did not react immediately evacuate to safer areas. Young children should be taught about the basic mechanism of tsunami generation 31
