Hawaii volcanoes (science)
Scientists in the US have suggested that volcanic activity in Hawaii could be fed by a giant hot rock pool 1,000 kilometers west of the islands and in the Earth’s mantle, rather than being fed by a hot plume of magma as previously thought.  $$$

Japan (Fukushima tsunami)
Japanese nuclear regulators trusted that the reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex were safe from the worst waves an earthquake could muster based on a single-page memo from the plant operator nearly a decade ago. $$$

Japan (reconstruction)
Disaster-hit Miyagi Prefecture on Saturday revealed a draft proposal for reconstruction, featuring concentration of agricultural land and realignment of fishing ports. The proposal also includes the transfer of residential zones from coastal areas to higher ground in order to prevent tsunami damage. $$$

Haiti (homeless)
Haiti’s new president, who came to power pledging to house earthquake victims, is now under fire as they are evicted from refugee camps. ” This is the work of animals,” Guerin Pierre, a resident of the Delmas 3 camp outside Port-au-Prince, told The Miami Herald after a recent raid. “This is the worst kind of humiliation someone can experience. They chose to do this at the start of the hurricane season.” $$$
