At last March 11, It was one year since the devastating earthquake in Japan. If I look back, it began from the largest earthquake in recent years, and the large tunami devastated the coast of the north part of Japan. Finally, nuclear disaster came out soon. A lot of people died because they could not escape from the tunami. The tunami took away many life and swept out a lot of town totally. We have to keep in mind this forever for the future and have to make a strategy for next earthquake. We never be able to avoid natural disasters. U.S does not have so many earthquake, but instead of that, U.S. always suffers from hurricanes very year especially at the south part of east coast. A lot of people lose their life every year because of that. Now Japan is facing the nuclear problem caused by the earthquake. This problem is not easy to solve because spread nuclear materials stay on ground and continue to emit nuclear radiation for more than 20 years. So we have to deal with the problem for long time. The destroyed nuclear power plants are far from my hometown close to Tokyo, but non-negligible amount of radiation have been observed. So I have been thinking what I should do when I come back to Japan someday.
What I am relieved about is that people in Japan are still concerned about everything related to the earthquake because I was afraid at first that people forgot the disaster one year later.
Generally, human is a animal which gets used to anything, get less concerned, and take it for granted, but current situation is not so.Even in U.S, I could watched TV news about the earthquake in Japan, and news caster said strongly that we must not forgot this and world is flat now throughout internet, and we, human being , are connected together, and we can help each other and get through it together.
