Disaster Evacuation from Japan’s 2011 Tsunami Disaster and the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
N°05/13 MAY 2013 | GOVERNANCE

JAPAN’S 2011 DISASTER: RESPONSES TO NATURAL AND INDUSTRIAL CATASTROPHES The triple disaster that hit the Tohoku region of Japan on 11 March 2011
triggered a massive human displacement: more than 400,000 people
evacuated their homes as a gigantic tsunami induced by a magnitude 9.0
earthquake engulfed the coastal areas, and the following nuclear accident
in Fukushima released a large amount of radioactive materials into the
atmosphere. This study analyses the disaster response, with a particular
focus on evacuation of the population, and social consequences of this
complex crisis, based on intensive fieldwork carried out one year after the
catastrophe. It reveals that the responses of the Japanese authorities and
population were significantly different between a natural disaster and an
industrial (man-made) accident.
TWO EVACUATION PATTERNS: RISK PERCEPTION VERSUS VULNERABILITY Being prone to both earthquakes and tsunamis, Japan had been preparing
itself against such risks for many years. A tsunami alert was immediately
issued and the population knew how and where to evacuate. In contrast,
the evacuation from the nuclear accident was organised in total chaos, as
a severe accident or large-scale evacuation had never been envisaged—let
alone exercised—before the disaster. The population was thus forced to
flee with no information as to the gravity of the accident or radiation risk.
In both cases, the risk perception prior to the catastrophe played a key role
in determining the vulnerability of the population at the time of the crisis.
SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES FROM THE DISASTER: DIVIDED COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES While tsunami evacuees are struggling with a slow reconstruction
process due to financial difficulties, nuclear evacuees are suffering from
uncertainty as to their prospect of return. One year after the accident,
the Japanese authorities began to encourage nuclear evacuees to return
to the areas contaminated by radiation according to a newly established
safety standard. This triggered a vivid controversy within the affected
communities, creating a rift between those who trust the government’s
notion of safety and those who do not. The nuclear disaster has thus
become a major social disaster in Japan dividing and weakening the
affected communities.w w

3. THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI
3.1. Overview of the event
On 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake
struck off the Pacific coast of Tohoku in north-
eastern Honshu, the main island of Japan. The
tremor triggered a tsunami that had a mean inun-
dation height of 10–15 m and a run-up height of
40 m in some places (Mori and Takahashi, 2012:
pp.1 and 13). According to the National Police
Agency, 15,871 people lost their lives, with 2,778
people missing (feared dead) and 6,114 people
injured, as on 10 October 2012.13 Nearly 400,000
houses were either severely damaged or comple-
tely destroyed. The Cabinet Office estimates
the direct financial damage from the disaster at
approximately 16.7 trillion yen (€167 billion).14 It
was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded
in Japan,15 and one of the world’s biggest earth-
quakes after the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake
(M 9.1–9.3). The then Japanese Prime Minister,
Naoto Kan, described the disaster as the worst
crisis that Japan has had to face since the Second
World War.
According to the official figure, the disaster dis-
placed a total of 386,739 people, recorded at one
week after the disaster.16 In March 2012, one year
on from the disaster, the number was still as high
as 344,290,17 which indicates that most of the evac-
uees had not yet returned to their home or reset-
tled in permanent shelters. Half of these evacuees
originate from the Fukushima Prefecture and most
were displaced following the nuclear accident.
The number of evacuees who left on account of
the earthquake and tsunami alone can thus be es-
timated at around 170,000 people.
These evacuees are currently accommodated
in three types of temporary shelters: prefabricat-
ed houses, private apartments and public-sector
apartments. As early as April 2011, one month af-
ter the disaster, prefabricated houses were erected

to house the displaced population. By May 2012,
a total of 52,858 prefabricated houses had been
constructed for the disaster evacuees, of which
48,884 units are currently occupied.18 There were
68,317 families living in private apartments, with
rent covered by the government. Public-sector
apartments, which were initially built to provide
housing for public servants, were also utilised as
evacuee accommodation. There were 19,041 of
such apartments occupied by the evacuees.
3.2. Disaster response and evacuation
This sub-section presents the major findings from
the field interviews on the disaster response and
evacuation process induced by the earthquake and
tsunami.
Evacuation with a tsunami warning that underestimated the gravity of the situation Japan is a country prone to earthquakes and
tsunamis due to its geological conditions. Over
the years, it has thus developed an adaptation and
disaster prevention mechanism using advanced
technologies. The coastal communities of Tohoku
in particular had prepared themselves for the
eventuality of a disaster, as they have already
experienced many tsunamis. When the earth-
quake hit the Tohoku region on 11 March 2011, the
tsunami warning was issued by the Japan Meteo-
rological Agency (JMA) only three minutes after
the earthquake, and immediately disseminated
to the municipalities likely to be impacted (JMA
2011b: p.3). The warning was then transmitted
through loudspeakers installed in these coastal
towns for the purpose of public broadcasting. The
disaster prevention mechanism was thus acti-
vated as planned. However, the field interviews
revealed that the system had many shortcomings.
First, the estimated tsunami height announced in
the warning was considerably different from the
actual tsunami height. The JMA issued a warning
of a 6 m tsunami for Miyagi Prefecture and no
more than a 3 m tsunami for Iwate and Fukushima
Prefectures (JMA 2011a: p.3). On hearing this
alert, some residents decided to stay on the second
floor of their house instead of evacuating to higher
ground. In addition, the fact that these coastal
towns had 5–10 m breakwaters built along the
coast for protection against the inflow of tsunami
waves further delayed the residents’ decision to
flee. One evacuee from Ofunato City said:

Disaster Evacuation from Japan’s 2011 Tsunami Disaster and the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
When I first heard a tsunami warning for 3
metres, I thought that it would be all right be-
cause the breakwater in our town is higher than
that.
The survey conducted by the JMA in June 2011
on the post-disaster evacuation following the
tsunami alert also collected the similar testimo-
nies from tsunami survivors (JMA, 2011a: p.5).
During our interviews, a couple of evacuees also
mentioned that those who had already evacu-
ated to higher ground even went back home after
hearing the expected height of tsunami, thinking
that they would survive in their house. Further-
more, citizen volunteers from the Community
Fire Brigade19 went to the coastal area to close the
breakwater gates, a task allocated to them by the
contingency planning, expecting the breakwater
to be high enough to stop the tsunami. Many of
them lost their lives as the tsunami engulfed the
breakwaters. In reality, the tsunami that hit the
three prefectures had a 10–15 m mean inundation
height and a 40 m run-up height in some places. It
was only after the arrival of the tsunami that the
JMA amended the height to ‘more than 10 m’ for
all three prefectures. As a result, despite the early
tsunami warning, many residents were caught by
surprise when the actual tsunami arrived.
Later, it was also discovered that the govern-
ment possessed GPS-controlled tide gauge equip-
ment, installed off the coast of Tohoku by the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and
Tourism (MLIT), which had accurately predicted
the height of the tsunami prior to its arrival on the
coast. According to the presentation made by the
Member of Parliament, Itsunori Onodera, at the
House of Representatives on 2 February 2012, the
information from the GPS gauge was transmitted
to the JMA before the tsunami arrived, but the
JMA did not take this into account until after the
event as it was neither part of their procedure nor
integrated into their method of calculating the tsu-
nami height.20
The second shortcoming of the tsunami warning
was the way in which the warning was disseminat-
ed. The alert is usually transmitted by the relevant
municipal offices via loudspeakers installed all

pates in and helps the activities of fire fighters on a com-

cratic Party) at the House of Representatives during the

over town. The interviews with evacuees and local
authorities found that many of these loudspeak-
ers did not function either because the earthquake
had knocked down the speaker poles or because
transmission had been disrupted by the power cut
following the earthquake. According to the survey
conducted by the JMA after the disaster, 17 out of
27 affected municipalities responded that their tsu-
nami alert transmission system had broken down
and did not function properly at the time of the
disaster (Fire and Disaster Management Agency,
2011: p.7). This indicates that the installed system
was simply not well adapted to the magnitude of
the disaster and thus not reliable during the actual
crises.
Thirdly, according to the interviewed survivors,
even when the public speakers were functioning,
the warning message issued by the municipal
office was given in such a polite and calm tone
(‘Please evacuate’) that the residents did not fully
appreciate its gravity. The field research found
that only 3 out of 28 interviewed evacuees had
been prompted to flee on account of the tsunami
warning transmitted by the local authority over
the loudspeakers. The majority of residents fled
after actually witnessing the tsunami, on the ba-
sis of their own judgement or previous experience,
listening to the radio broadcasts, or being directly
warned by the community fire brigade on patrol.
In summary, the tsunami warning during the
11 March disaster, although timely, suffered from
failings with respect to an assessment of the grav-
ity of the tsunami, the transmission system used
and an inadequate communication of the level of
risk.
Relief operations and a limited capacity to accept aid In the field, local governments – both municipal
and prefectural authorities – were the main coor-
dination bodies for relief operations. The inter-
views with municipal officers and aid workers
from NGOs made it clear that the affected local
authorities in the remote coastal region of Tohoku
often lacked experience in working with civil orga-
nisations such as NGOs and citizen volunteers,
and were simply overwhelmed by the number
of offers. In Ishinomaki City, according to the
Director of Peace Boat Disaster Relief Volunteers
Centre (PBV), the offer of volunteers was initially
turned down by the local authority on the grounds
that the city had no coordination or reception
arrangements in place for the volunteers. In addi-
tion, one municipal officer from the same city
recalled during the interview that food aid was
sometimes wasted when the person in charge of
evacuation centres, often municipal officers, did

STUDY 05/2013 1 7IDDRI
not know how to distribute it properly. According
to him, when food aid of rice balls arrived in an
evacuee camp, the camp manager realised that
the number of rice balls was not enough to distri-
bute to everybody in the camp and thus decided to
simply throw them in the garbage in order to avoid
strife and chaos in the centre. In other instances,
the municipal officials managing the distribution
of relief items required the donating organisa-
tions and companies to provide ‘each survivor
with items that were exactly the same in brand,
type and size’ and, as a result, ‘many resources
were wasted or used inefficiently’ during the relief
operations (Yeoh, 2012: p.8).
The Secretary General of the Association for Aid
and Relief (ARR), which operates mainly in devel-
oping countries, also pointed out the cultural hesi-
tancy to accept aid, specific to Japanese society.
The relief operation in Tohoku made him aware
that, compared to beneficiaries in other countries,
the Japanese population generally lack the capac-
ity to seek help and accept assistance. When help is
offered, Japanese people tend to decline, either to
preserve their dignity or out of concern not to in-
convenience others. Another aid worker from AAR
recalled one scene:
When I arrived at a house badly damaged by
the tsunami, there was a woman still living in-
side the house without any electricity, water or
food. There was no heating stove either. When I
asked her what I could bring to help her, she said
‘No, don’t worry about me. There are people who
are in greater need than I am’.
In Japan, an industrialised country with a func-
tioning social welfare system, the local authori-
ties were simply not used to receiving help and
thus quickly became overwhelmed by all the of-
fers of assistance that came in from all over Japan
and abroad. Thus, the field interviews found that
the population’s cultural hesitancy to receive as-
sistance compounded the difficulties that volun-
teers, NGOs and other private donors encountered
in delivering aid to the needy during the relief
operations.
3.3. Perception of risk
The affected region of Tohoku had long been aware
of the tsunami risk and was thus highly prepared
for the eventuality prior to the disaster. This sub-
section attempts to analyse how this perception
influenced individual decisions to flee and disaster
mitigation during the actual crises.
High perception of tsunami risks Prior to the 11 March disaster, the affected
coastal cities had already been expecting a major
earthquake (M 7.4) to occur with a 99% prob-
ability within the next thirty years, and the To-
hoku region had thus prepared intensively against
such risk (Mori and Takahashi, 2012: p.2). In the

estimation, the tsunami was predicted to have a
10.2 m run-up height in Rikuzentakada City and
7.3 m in Naraha town.21 On the basis of these esti-
mates, the municipalities had created hazard maps
to mark out the zone at risk of flooding in the re-
spective cities (Map 3). Based on the hazard maps,
evacuation drills were organised regularly. All of
the evacuees interviewed mentioned that they had
been informed of such risk prior to the disaster. In
addition, most of them were familiar with tsunami
disasters and knew what to do in such an event,
having learnt from previous experiences and sto-
ries told by the elderly.
The shortcomings of hazard maps The field survey found that the hazard maps desi-
gned to prepare the residents against tsunamis did
not always help to save lives in the actual disaster.
According to the local government employee of
Rikuzentakada City that we interviewed, the map
had indeed helped to raise the awareness of those
residents living in the predicted inundation zone
and prepare them for an eventual tsunami. On
the other hand, it also created a feeling of reas-
surance for those who lived outside the predicted
inundation zone, giving them the impression that
they were safe from the tsunami risk. Another map
shown by the same official during the interview
indicated the location of houses whose residents
lost their lives, and clearly shows the causal rela-
tionship between the hazard map and the survival
of individuals. On the map,22 it was evident that
victims resided just outside the predicted inun-
dation zone indicated on the hazard map – those
residents who were not included in the tsunami
drills. This suggests that the perception of risk and
the disaster preparedness did, in the vast majority
of cases, influence the survival of individuals at
the time of disaster.
Location of emergency evacuation points All four evacuees interviewed in Ishinomaki City
referred to the disaster as ‘man-made’, critici-
sing the local authority for insufficient prepare-
dness against a tsunami risk. In Ishinomaki City,
which had the highest death toll (3,47123) of all the
affected towns, survivors accuse the shortcomings
of the municipality’s disaster preparation as a main

cause of this high fatality rate. One of their accusa-
tions targets the location of emergency evacuation
points. These points were generally designated at
schools and public buildings but also at public car
parks or a flat field. Originally intended as gathe-
ring points in case of fires or earthquakes, some of
them were situated on lower ground close to the
shoreline or on river banks. When the earthquake
hit on 11 March 2011, many inhabitants gathered
at these emergency points instead of taking refuge
on higher ground, quite simply because these
places were regularly used during disaster drills
as the first assembly points. As a result, some of
these residents lost their lives as the locations were
completely inundated by the tsunami. One of the
most tragic examples is the case of Okawa primary
school in Ishinomaki City. Teachers decided to
take the children to the emergency evacuation
point located on the river bank instead of climbing
the hill just next to the school, because it was the
evacuation point designated in the contingency
manual. As a result of this decision, 70% of the
school children and teachers lost their lives when
the tsunami travelled up the river.24
These instances indicate that the evacuation
points were not necessarily adapted to tsunami
disasters and that the residents were not adequate-
ly informed or trained for tsunami evacuations in
Ishinomaki City. This lesson needs to be properly
addressed in future disaster planning.
Vulnerability created by previous tsunami experiences During the interviews, municipal officials and
evacuees mentioned that having previous tsunami
experiences had sometimes adversely affected
individuals’ decision to flee and hence their
survival during the 11 March tsunami. It is often
assumed that people with previous disaster expe-
rience respond more effectively to a subsequent
disaster and that the lessons learnt from past
experience help them to avoid similar mistakes
in the future. As Alexandre Magnan argues in the
context of adaptive capacity to climate change, in
societies regularly exposed to natural hazards, the
experience of risk may confer a certain ability to
respond to a changing climate and to integrate its
effects (Magnan, 2010: p.8). Yet in the case of the
11 March disaster, although experience did help to
