Impact Disaster Damage "Japan Tsunami 2011"

Parameters of the damage caused by the tsunami japan 2011, relate to some things which are
as follows:

1. Victims
A powerful M 9.0 earthquake occurred offshore of the east coast of the
Tohoku region on the Island of Honshu, Japan. Occurring at 2:46 p.m. local time,
ground shaking duration lasted for over five minutes in many areas, including Tokyo.
The earthquake triggered a series of devastating tsunami, inundating 52,600 hectares
(525 km2) of land along the coastline. The 2011 disaster was both a major
humanitarian and insured loss event. As of April 2012, there are more than 15,800
confirmed deaths, with approximately 3,100 people missing (NPAoJ, 2012).
2. Infrastructure
Japanese government estimates that more than 46,000 homes and buildings
damaged catastrophic earthquakes and tsunami struck Japan's northeast on friday.
The government says about 5,700 structures collapsed in an earthquake or washed
away by the tsunami. They include 3,056 structures in iwate, 2413 in fukushima, 86 in
miyagi, 80 in ibaraki, 38 in yamagata, 15 in tochigi, 14 in chiba, three in tokyo, and
one each in kanagawa and akita. The national police agency said the quake also
causing damage to road and bridge at least 600 locations. Damaged road at 582 in 11
prefectures location, location and bridge 32 in tokyo and three other prefectures.
Railways damaged in 7 locations in 2 prefectures. Also quake caused the ground in 66
location landslide in 7 prefectures.
3. Nuclear power plants
The tsunami the caused a cooling system failure at the Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Plant, the which resulted in a level-7 nuclear meltdown and release of
radioactive materials. The electrical power and backup generators were overwhelmed
by the tsunami, and the plant lost its cooling capabilities. In July 2013, TEPCO, the
Tokyo Electric Power Company, admitted that about 300 tons of radioactive water
continues to leak from the plant every day into the Pacific Ocean.
"Fukushima was created by the tsunami. The earthquake was not a factor,"
Titov said. "Fukushima was designed for a tsunami smaller than the one we saw."
Very low levels of radioactive chemicals that leaked from Fukushima have been
 detected along the North American coast offshore Canada and California. Trace
amounts of cesium-134 and cesium-137 (radioactive isotopes) were found in seawater
collected in 2014 and 2015.
4. Economic loss
In the case of Tohoku, RMS released a total economic loss estimate of $200-
300 billion USD (4-5% of Japanese GDP; JPY16.2-24.3 trillion) on March 14, 2011,
including infrastructure damage, from a combination of the earthquake shaking,
tsunami inundation, and secondary consequences. On March 23, 2011, the Japanese
government (Japanese Cabinet Office, 2011) estimated damage from the event to cost
JPY16-25 trillion ($197-308 billion USD).
