Hi James, thanks for that info, and for the link to the paper. It is fascinating to hear about efforts to support the earthquake advisories through this kind of outreach and interaction with local governments. I'm quite familiar with some social science studies of post-earthquake response, but not pre-earthquake preparations. Now that an advisory has been raised for the first time, are there plans to follow up and see what actions were actually taken at the municipal level? Cheers - Kyle
Thanks for your reply Kyle and yes, we have plans to follow up with the cities and prefectures that are part of the Nankai Region. One of our junior colleagues was conducting a tsunami drill in Miyazaki City when the earthquake occurred. The drill was quickly transformed into an actual evacuation. We also have a website for local emergency managers in the region. There is an English version (and of course a Japanese version) that includes the planning guidance document for OEF.
