The Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE)
was a multi-hazard event. A massive quake triggered a series
of tsunamis of unprecedented dimension, as well as the
subsequent nuclear accident. Sensitive facilities need to be
protected against low-probability and complex events because
damage to such facilities can have a cascading effect,
multiplying the destruction and leading to irreversible
human, social, economic, and environmental impacts. This
report gives findings; lessons; and recommendations for
developing countries.
