“Learning from Megadisasters: Lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake”

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 occurred in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan’s Tohoku region. What the disaster taught Japan—and what it can teach other countries, for instance Italy? Federica Ranghieri from the World Bank and formerly FEEM researcher, is one of the authors of the report “Learning from Megadisasters” and on July 9, 2014 (from 5.00 to 7.30 p.m.) will present at FEEM the amazing work performed so far and the main lessons learned, particularly for what concerns Tsunami hazards and risks.
