摘要:On 11 March 2011, a massive, shallow earthquake off the
east coast of Japan demonstrated the remarkable successes
which that country has achieved in earthquake engineering.
Building collapses tended to be mainly older structures
while comparatively few deaths resulted from the shaking
(including from landslides), illustrating how decades of
initiatives and efforts in disaster risk reduction can reduce
vulnerability, ensuring that a hazard does not necessarily
lead to a disaster.
