Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, Central Council for Accident Prevention create crisis management plans, a comprehensive plan for preparing against disasters.

Reason of Japanese plans failure was the scale of tsunami, having higher waves than what was assumed. Japanese authorities considered economic benefits more than safety and moral factors exacerbate the situation. 15854 dead, 3167 missing and 26992 injured across twenty prefectures.
1. effectiveness of disaster management should be restudied in all hazardous countries
2. importance of the high-Tech early-warning systems in reducing risk
3. Reconsidering of extreme values expected/possible hazard and risk levels is necessary
4. Morality and might be taken as an important factor in disaster management
5. Sustainable development should be taken as the basis for reconstruction after disaster.
Ministry of Health was in charge of preparing suitable vehicles for supplying water and assigning hospitals for casualties.
Ministry of Finance were responsible for providing food, portable toilet, blanket, radio, gasoil, torch, dry ice and other essentials.
Construction of temporary housing in quakestricken prefectures was begun 8 days after the event and the first set of buildings was expected to be ready within a month.

Root cause - environment, tsunami
Time - during month before largely peak season

Off peak, environmental cause- earthquake.
Immediate response to the earthquake the government launched a large scale relief operation, with the help of volunteers, humanitarian groups etc.
Flash appeal was created in order to help to provide life saving equipment to help those effected by the earthquake.
Grants and loans were received to help reconstruct the areas that were most effected.
After the earthquake new approaches on disaster risk reduction was thought of, in order to help deal with the crisis in a more efficient way. Looking at the population of Nepal weekly, to help know who may be effected when a earthquake takes place - also using web based applications for residents of Nepal to check in, showing they are safe.

CLASSIFICATION
ROOT CAUSE: Environmental. The destination was hit with a 7.0 level earthquake, which was then followed by various aftershocks that reached up to level 5.0 on the Richter scale.
DIMENSION: The earthquake destroyed part of the capital Port-au-Prince. Immediately, 230,000 people were killed and 180,000 homes were destroyed by the earthquake. However, this also affected other countries around the world because they had to send money to this destination to help it try to recover. Countries like the USA and Dominican Republic were affected too. (International dimension).
Time: 12 January 2010. It wasn’t peak season because this destination  don’t have a particular peak or low season.
Stages of crisis:
Haiti was a very poor country before the earthquake and wasn’t already able to attract a lot of tourist to this destination.
Search and rescue teams started working immediately. Trained doctors with sniffer dogs with appropriate equipment. Local people made up the majority of the rescuers.
Aid arrived from abroad in the form of food, water, medical supplies and temporary shelters (from the USA and Dominican Republic at first.). The UK’s Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) also contributed by helping the destination by raising over £100million. The money raised was then used for emergency shelter, medical consultations, clean drinking water and sanitation.
Haiti was still devastated 12 months afterwards and is still recovering to this day, even though it has been given € 460 million from the European Commission for its recovery. . Being a 3rd word country and being hit by this type of disaster pushed even further backwards in their attempt for a better life.

Vulnerability:  The absence of a buildings regulation played an important role on the vulnerability of this destination in this case. Buildings in Haiti were built with poor quality, cheap materials and these simply crumbled when the earthquake shook. Haiti also didn’t have no action plans in place in case an earthquake happened in this location.

It made a landfall in North Carolina on the 27th August and made its way up the east coast. It was known as the most severe cyclone of the hurricane season so far making it a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale. Prior warnings were declared which allowed people to evacuate areas that were at high risks, mainly along the east coast, but homes were still destroyed, with mainly 5 million experiencing power cuts after utilities infrastructure were damaged.
Beaches on the Bahamas were reported to be blocked off and most tourists left on ships and planes as the island had to prepare for the impact. Major cruise lines also cancelled certain stops. A few shop owners said they have experience from previous storms meaning they knew how to respond and salvage things quickly.
Tropical storm warning was given and said it would happen in the next 36 hours so people had time for warnings and evacuations.

Root cause - environmental
Time - towards the end of peak season
