Going Back: Radiation and Intentions to Return amongst Households Evacuated after the Great Tohoku Earthquake

Based on a survey conducted with evacuees from the Fukushima radiation-affected region of Japan we examine intentions to return, eventually to the family homes. Many respondents do not intend to return, particularly those from tsunami-affected towns, but higher income households and those who evacuated to the same town are more likely to go back. Intentions are only weakly responsive to changes in ambient radiation levels and families with children are particularly unwilling to return to radiation affected areas, suggesting that the ongoing policy of active decontamination may have only a limited impact on eventual resettlement.

“…The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and associated tsunamis caused 15,894 deaths; the number of houses destroyed or partially destroyed were 128,530 and 240,332, respectively [7]. Disaster recovery and reconstruction policy and planning stages in Japan consist of three stages: disaster evaluation, in which acts are issued and a budget is passed (I, 0 to 4 months); provisional reconstruction, which includes basic recovery plans and a supplementary budget (II, 4 to 11 months); and finally, disaster recovery and reconstruction, with a further budget definition (III, 11 months to 10 years).…”

Abstract:The 2009 L'Aquila earthquake left approximately 67,000 homeless people. The earthquake severely damaged facilities, structures, and infrastructure of L'Aquila town, the capital of Abruzzo region, as well as 56 other municipalities in the so-called "crater". The resident population in the crater area at the time of the earthquake included 68,503 inhabitants in the city of L'Aquila and 71,081 in other municipalities of the crater, yielding a total of 139,584 inhabitants. Several solutions were adopted to host homeless people in the immediate emergency phase; then, temporary accommodations were built to host people up to the completion of the reconstruction process. This paper analyzes the timeline by which people who lived in L'Aquila city at the time of earthquake was enabled to return to their houses, either repaired and strengthened or rebuilt. In particular, this analysis covers the first phase of the reconstruction process as well as its second phase, which is currently still ongoing in L'Aquila's historical centers. The trend of a population returning home discussed herein has been determined based on data collected from different databases given by several institutions engaged in the emergency and reconstruction phases; this allowed an estimation of the number of people returned to their homes over time.

“…Significant risk mitigation efforts have been made in recent years in high-risk countries, such as Japan, USA, Chile, New Zealand, and Indonesia (Schlurmann et al, 2010;Wood et al, 2014;Mueller et al, 2015;Raby et al, 2015). Even though Japan is a welldeveloped country with comprehensive tsunami defense systems, the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami still caused significant damage, causing economic loss of ∼ USD 365 billion and fatalities of ∼ 20 000 people (Kazama and Noda, 2012). Globally, preparedness systems for earthquake and tsunami hazards need to be improved to reduce the economic and social impact of future tsunamigenic earthquake events (Scheer et al, 2011;Wood et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. This study develops tsunami evacuation plans in Padang, Indonesia, using a stochastic tsunami simulation method. The stochastic results are based on multiple earthquake scenarios for different magnitudes (M w 8.5, 8.75, and 9.0) that reflect asperity characteristics of the 1797 historical event in the same region. The generation of the earthquake scenarios involves probabilistic models of earthquake source parameters and stochastic synthesis of earthquake slip distributions. In total, 300 source models are generated to produce comprehensive tsunami evacuation plans in Padang. The tsunami hazard assessment results show that Padang may face significant tsunamis causing the maximum tsunami inundation height and depth of 15 and 10 m, respectively. A comprehensive tsunami evacuation plan -including horizontal evacuation area maps, assessment of temporary shelters considering the impact due to ground shaking and tsunami, and integrated horizontal-vertical evacuation time maps -has been developed based on the stochastic tsunami simulation results. The developed evacuation plans highlight that comprehensive mitigation policies can be produced from the stochastic tsunami simulation for future tsunamigenic events.
