On March 11, 2011, a powerful 9.0 magnitude earthquake shook Japan and followed a tsunami that killed dozens of people and people. The move also caused deaths at a nuclear plant, provoking a ‘triple disaster’ that killed at least 20,000 people and more than a million displaced people.
The massive tsunami inundated more than 200 million square feet of coastal land. It is estimated that the olas are 124 pieces (38 metros), the height of a 12-piece floor.
At least 2,500 people have never been killed. Nearly a million people were forced to evacuate. In addition, the collapse of an atomic energy plant provoked a nuclear emergence.
The direct economic loss of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster is estimated at more than 360,000 million dollars.
Although Japan is a global leader in disaster relief, the 2011 earthquake caused deaths and humanitarian needs that required an international response.
