Arahama Elementary School, Sendai City / 【学校と震災】仙台市立荒浜小学校
In the Arahama area, tsunami-conscious local people evacuated to Arahama Elementary School following the earthquake. The tsunami actually reached the second floor of the school building, and the local people and students were led to the fourth floor and the roof top.
While students were leading the lives of refugees, the school held a graduation and an opening ceremony, finished temporary relocation, and the school was once again opened. At the opening ceremony on April 19, the school principal thanked the students saying, I am glad you came. He was delighted to see students once again in classes and for their return that had encouraged teachers and cheered them to no end.

津波への意識が高い荒浜では、地震発生後、多くの地域の方が荒浜小学校に避難してきました。実際の津波は2階まで達し、4階、屋上まで住人や生徒を誘導することになりました。
避難生活をするなかで卒業式、始業式、そして仮の移転を行い、学校として機能を取り戻していきました。4月19日の始業式のときに、校長先生は「よく来てくれたね」と生徒たちにお礼を言いました。学校に生徒がいるということ、それによって先生たちの目がそれまでと違うということを嬉しく思いました。

Shichigo Elementary School, Sendai City (1) / 【学校と震災】仙台市立七郷小学校(1)
More than 1,000 pupils evacuated safely.
Based on the lessons of the 2010 Chile Earthquake, about 2,500 people from a wide area on the Sendai coast took refuge at Shichigo Elementary School on the night of the earthquake. To prepare hot meals, we used wood from the school corridors for fuel.
With enormous help from local residents and volunteers from outside the city, we were able to operate the shelter and even improve its condition day by day.

Ishinomaki Kawanokami Project 2019 石巻・川の上プロジェクト
On March 11th 2011, Japan was struck by the most powerful earthquake in its recorded history. Following the earthquake, a tsunami hit the Eastern coast of Tohoku with a resulting 15,897 deaths, 6,157 injured, and 2,533 missing. One of the areas most heavily damaged was Ishinomaki. Kawanomaki, an area within the city, was used as a relocation site for the victims of the disaster. These survivors have struggled immensely in the time since the tsunami occurred, and so a community development project was initiated by Dr. Hideyuki Miura to unite and bring relief to the community. It is called the Ishinomaki Kawanokami Project. In 2019, during the anniversary of the disaster, the first volunteer work camp took place at the site of the Hyappyoukan Community Center. The goal was to clear a space in the surrounding bamboo forest to begin the next phase of the project.

WeRobotics Webinar - Building Disaster Resilience in Japan with Drones and Aerial Imagery
With fierce typhoons, floods, landslides, volcanoes' eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis striking Japan every year, the country has learnt to become one of the most resilient in the world. Aerial mapping and satellite imaging have proven to be of utmost importance after a disaster but they also showed some limitations when it comes to unpredictable weather conditions and smooth data feed for quick decision-making. As drone technology is on the rise, high-resolution imaging becomes more accessible and easy to use for everyone. Taichi Furuhashi, Professor at Aoyama Gakuin University, President of Crisis Mappers Japan and founder at Dronebird, shares the current state of the map and how multirotors are concretely benefitting local communities in their resilience journey.

BREAKING NEWS: Exactly a month on, another earthquake strikes off Japan coast as nation holds memorial services
A warning has been issued for a 3-foot (1-metre) tsunami, the same as after another 7.1 aftershock that shook the northeast coast last week. There was no tsunami after that quake.
People at a large electronics store in central Sendai screamed and ran outside during today's incident, though the shaking made it hard to move around. Mothers grabbed their children, and windows shook. After a minute or two, people returned to the store.
Toyko Narito Airport has suspended takeoffs and landings as runways were closed after the latest quake, which comes as Japan reflected on the devastation wreaked by last month's disaster.
However, thousands of bodies are yet to be found, a tsunami-flooded nuclear power plant is still spewing radiation and more than 150,000 people remain living in shelters.
'We offer our deepest condolences to those who lost their loved ones,' chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano said today at a brief news conference where he pledged the government would do whatever it could to help survivors and end the nuclear crisis.
'We are sorry for causing inconvenience and difficulties to those who still live in shelters.'
The 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the tsunami it generated flattened communities along hundreds of miles of coastline. The government has estimated the cost of damages from the disaster could grow to $310billion.
In an open letter printed in seven newspapers across the globe, Prime Minister Naoto Kan thanked other nations for their help since the disaster.
'Through our own efforts and with the help of the global community, Japan will recover and come back even stronger. We will then repay you for your generous aid,' he wrote.
'With this in our hearts, we now stand together dedicated to rebuilding the nation.'

Kengo Kuma, “From Concrete to Wood: Why Wood Matters”
The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami shattered coastal cities in Japan in 2011. Kengo Kuma, taking as a point of departure his experiences in the aftermath of that natural disaster, will examine humans’ relationship with nature, questioning the perceived strength of steel and concrete and proposing the reintroduction of wood in design as a fair and practical mediator between humans and nature.
Born in Tokyo, Kuma completed his master’s degree at the University of Tokyo in 1979 and spent time as a visiting scholar at Columbia University before establishing Kengo Kuma & Associates in 1990. Among his many works, recent projects include the Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum (2010), which won the 2011 The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize; the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center (2012), Nagaoka City Hall Aore (2012), and Ginza Kabukiza (2013). Two of his buildings outside Japan are the Besancon Arts and Culture Center and FRAC Marseilles and Aix-en-Provence Conservatory of Music (both 2013). The firm currently has some one hundred projects ongoing in Europe, the U.S., Japan, China, and elsewhere in Asia. One of the most high-profile of these is the new national stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Since 2009, Kuma has been a professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Tokyo. He has also written more than a dozen books—including Anti-Object (2013)—which have been published not only in Japanese but frequently in English, Chinese, and Korean, earning him a readership in many parts of the world. Kuma is an International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and, as of 2009, an Officier de L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France.
