6. Japanese Disasters by Mortalities
Mortality
Eqs & Tsunamis
Floods & Land Slides
Japan enjoyed many kinds of natural disasters. This picture shows the number of people killed due to natural disasters for each year between 1945 and As you can see, Floods and land slide due to heavy rain has been the main killers in Japan.
Current disaster management system has been establishes in 1961 following the severe damage caused by the 1959 Ise-Bay Typhoon
So, Current system is basically designed to reduce the damage due to floods and land slides. You may see it looked like it has been successful in terms of mortality reduction.
As far as earthquake disaster is concerned, only 17 damaging Earthquakes occurred for this period. 7 earthquakes killed more than 100 people. Due to tsunami, people were killed in the recent three events in 1960, 1984, and 1993.
It was unprepared for the near field earthquake which occurred in 1995 in Kobe.
It created a big challenge for disaster community in Japan 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 00
