    social and economic impacts of haiti and japan earthquakes

    The disaster will weigh on Japan's economic growth through negative impact on consumption, capex projection, and lower capacity to ship export. On the other hand, reconstruction demand in the phase of recovery will have positive impact on reconstruction of housing, replacement of production equipments (i.e. capex), government expenditure, and public investment. If we aggregate those negative and positive impacts, quarterly real GDP growth will be pushed down by a total of -2.1% points for Jan-Mar and Apr-Jun quarters. But reconstruction demand thereafter will push up real GDP growth rates for Jul-Sep and Oct-Dec quarters by a total of +0.9% points. Those said, we revise down our real GDP forecast for FY2011 to almost zero%. The earthquake will have negative impact both on actual household consumption expenditure and on their sentiments, which, in turn, will make households increase precautionary saving. However, strong reconstruction demand in the recovery phase will result in a +2.3% real GDP growth for FY2012. On the price front, we point out that the impact of the disaster will be inflationary rather than deflationary.…

    No Fail-Safe Option By Eugene Robinson

    In Eugene Robinson’s article, “No Fail-Safe Option,” he addresses that nuclear power is beginning to look like a “bargain with the devil” (Robinson 226). Robinson, a journalist for The Washington Post, aims his article at the Chernobyl disaster and the unlikeliness of the Fukushima crisis ending with the same result. Even though Japanese engineers struggle to keep the catastrophe from escalating even higher, Robinson says we cannot ignore the fact that nuclear fission is “inherently and uniquely toxic technology” (226). He points out that the “most powerful earthquake in Japan’s recorded history” began a declining chain of events, starting with system…

    Prevention/Protection Mission Area Core Capabilities

    On Monday, January 17, 1994 at 4.31 a.m. an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 6.7 struck a densely populated area of San Fernando Valley. In spite of Los Angeles County considered as one of the greatest prepared regions for earthquakes, Northridge was one of the worse disasters financially. They were around 14,000 aftershocks reported in the magnitude of 4.0-5.0 range. Because of the earthquake people displaced from their homes are estimated to be around 80,000 to 125,000. Preliminary estimated damages were USD 15-17 billion dollars. The earthquake had occurred at the early morning hours, had it occurred at another time of day, there would have been more injuries and more fatalities. Gas, power, water, and sewer utilities were affected greatly along with structural damages to major bridges causing a nightmare to travel (Petak & Elahi, 2001).…

    Image Analysis Essay

    On March 11, 2011, a tragedy struck Japan that will never be forgotten. Ocean ridges and mountain ranges below the surface of the ocean caused the waves created by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan. These two factors together caused a deathly Tsunami that Japan is still struggling to recover from. The earthquake and tsunami together killed 15,840 people and set off a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Six million households, more than 10% of the total in Japan, were without electricity. In Tokyo, rail service was suspended overnight, elevated highways were shut down and streets remained jammed as commuters who spent the night in shelters fought to get to their homes. To make matters worse, the terrifying natural disaster had sparked a human-caused crisis, as radiation leaks from crippled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three of the plant 's six reactors overheated and their fuel melted down causing hydrogen explosions to blow the tops off three reactor buildings, which lead to a major leak of radiation at levels not seen since Chernobyl in 1986. The authorities hugely underestimated the risks tsunamis posted to the plant. Tokyo Electric had assumed that no wave would reach more than about 20 feet, but little did they know the tsunami would hit more than twice that height. Also, the workers left at Fukushima Daiichi had not been trained to handle multiple failures, causing them to panic. A communication breakdown meant that workers at the plant had no clear sense of what was happening (Tabuchi web). Japan had been scanning for radiation exposure by medical teams because of the risk when radioactive iodine enters the body and settle in the thyroid. Children are especially vulnerable. Thousands of citizens were forced into radiation screenings before they could get help at a shelter or even return to their homes. The Japan tsunami crisis not only destroyed one of Japan’s…

    Three Mile Island Nuclear Effects

    Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in March of 1979, a reactor malfunction resulted in the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The automatic release valve malfunctioned, which prevented water from entering the system and cooling the reactor core. This incident is considered the worst disaster in U.S. nuclear history (Gale). However, from this incident we learned more about how reactors work, the environmental impact, and the health consequences of radiation exposure.…

    Persuasive Cold Water Crisis

    "The great majority of these runs have taken plumes of radioactivity emitted from Japan's east coast eastwards over the Pacific, with the plumes staying over water for at least five days," said meteorologist Jeff Masters. "It is highly unlikely that any radiation capable of causing harm to people will be left in atmosphere after seven days and 2000+ miles of travel," added Masters, founder of the Weather Underground online weather forecasting service. "Even the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which had a far more serious release of radioactivity, was unable to spread significant contamination more than about 1,000 miles," he said. The NCR spokesman declined to comment in depth on possible scenarios for how quickly or at what levels radioactivity could reach the US mainland. "Right now the government as a whole has people looking at the situation and asking these questions. We don't have the answers yet. We don't have anything that we can say publicly right…

    The Northridge Earthquake

    Economic cost was high with losses estimated at $40 billion. The earthquake severely tested building codes, earthquake-resistant construction and emergency preparation and response procedures. The experience confirmed many of the lessons learned from past earthquakes, exposed weaknesses in the society’s generally resilient fabric, and produced many surprises about the levels and consequences of strong ground shaking. Near the epicenter in the San Fernando Valley, well-engineered buildings withstood violent shaking without structural damage. However, numerous structural failures throughout the region were evidence of significant…

    Fort Wayne Community Schools believes that the quality of the principal will impact academic growth, teacher satisfaction, teacher effort, parent perceptions of the school, and many other stakeholder concerns. The accountability movement has forced FWCS to consider the effectiveness of the principal. An effective principal typically has effective teachers and consistent academic success in their building. An ineffective principal usually has ineffective teachers and little academic success. With the RISE evaluation process in place, principals are able to be more present in the classrooms and spend quality time helping teachers become more effective. The principal is not only looking for the instructional impact but also looking for strong interpersonal skills. If the principal lacks instructional knowledge and/or interpersonal skills the teacher accountability will be less than acceptable for FWCS.…

    Japan - Country Analysis Paper

    Japan, a relatively small nation in size, located in Eastern Asia between the North Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan boasts a population of about 127,368,088 people; 10th most populated nation. It is quite hard to imagine how a country about the size of the state of California could have been positioned and was predicted to become the largest, most powerful economy in the world. Japan’s economy, in the years following World War II can be described as nothing short of a miracle. For three decades, the real GDP of the country grew at an unperceived rate: a 10% average in the 1960’s, a 5% average in the 1970’s, and a 4% average in the 1980’s (CIA World fact book, 2012). This tremendous success was due to a strong work-ethic, cooperation in the government industry, efficient and innovative high technology sector, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1 % of GDP) (CIA World Fact book, 2012). In the 1990’s, however, growth slowed down to 1.7 % which was due largely in part to inefficient investment. In 2007, Japan’s 69 year economic expansion came to a screeching halt; as a matter of fact, they entered an economic recession as of 2008. The global demand for Japanese exports decreased significantly; as a result, the recession worsened and has brought rise to a new challenge: deflation. In March 2011, Japan's strongest-ever earthquake, and an accompanying tsunami, devastated the northeast part of Honshu island, killing thousands and damaging several nuclear power plants. The catastrophe hobbled the country's economy and its energy infrastructure, and tested e country’s ability to deal with crippling natural disasters. As if matters could not get any worse, Japan’s massive government debt which totals over 200% of the total GDP; in addition to the aging population, pose two additional long-run problems for the country itself and foreign investors alike. Despite the past decade of…

    Even though the earthquake was pretty bad itself, the fires that happened after the earthquake caused the most damage. The fires had burned for four days; some say it was caused by broken gas lines. Since the water remains had broken, trying to put the fires out was almost impossible to do, Because of it, five hundred city blocks were destroyed. But the damages had been estimated to about four-hundred million dollars just to be fixed. It would be actually 8.2…
