Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (Mar 2011)<\/h3>\n \n\n \n
\n
\n

On 11th March 2011, a devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck the north-east of Japan, triggering a massive tsunami that claimed over \uff1222,000 lives, washed away coastal cities, destroyed critical infrastructure and crippled thousands of businesses. Approximately 470,000 were displaced and 400,000 structures were partially or totally destroyed by the tsunami. The tsunami also destabilized the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, leading to a major leak in radiation, which continues to cause severe human, environmental and economic damage to this day. Peace Boat\/ PBV first entered the Tohoku region on March 17th, within a week of the unprecedented triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami and nuclear), and set up an operation base in Ishinomaki City.
