Unit VII Case Study

Unit VII Case Study
To prepare for this assignment, you will need to review pages 99-102 of Managing Emergencies and Crises and research information regarding the Kobe, Japan, 1995 earthquake and the earthquake and tsunami of 2011, using the CSU Online Library. You can also utilize resources relating to the topic from the Internet. (Please note that unrestricted sites such as Wikipedia are not acceptable reference sources for academic papers.)
Analyze the information that you find regarding the earthquakes and their devastating aftermath, which resulted in the most costly natural disasters in Japan’s history. Make sure that you include the following information in your case study:
1. Compare and contrast the Kobe 1995 earthquake to the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
2. Discuss how Japan’s diverse fault system could be used to identify this area as a potential location for an earthquake or for earthquake-related hazards.
3. What type of additional hazards did these earthquakes cause?
4. What were the destructive consequences of these earthquakes?
5. What was the emergency response to these earthquakes?
6. How are earthquake prevention strategies being utilized to help mitigate future disasters in these areas?
7. How could emergency managers mitigate the effects of another earthquake of these magnitudes in such densely populated areas as in Japan?
8. How did these earthquakes make a political impact upon Japan’s ministry?
9. How was volunteerism impacted and changed after these two natural disasters took place?
Your case study should be at least three pages of text in 12 point, double-spaced Times New Roman font. Please use APA style for all in-text citations and references that you use. A minimum of three references should be used.
