Japan (mutual relief)
Hakodate Fishermen here never forgot the kindness extended by Iwate Prefecture in 1934 when the city was razed by fire. Now they say it is their turn to offer a helping hand. Some 228 used fishing boats will be given to fishermen in Iwate Prefecture, who lost their fleets in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11. Loaded onto a barge, the boats departed Todohokke Port in eastern Hakodate for Kuji Port in Iwate Prefecture on June 4. $$$
Japan (evacuation shelters)
Life in evacuation shelters is taking a severe psychological toll on those left homeless by Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami, a situation likely to worsen as tens of thousands face the prospect of staying at least the rest of the year in temporary housing. $$$
United States (technology and emergencies)
Unified Incident Command and Decision Support (UICDS) System Deployed to the Cloud.During the NLE 11, a catastrophic earthquake impacting the Central United States is simulated. The UICDS team then used NLE 11 incidents and responses to carry out a parallel technology showcase enabling collaboration across a nationally deployed network, representing a regional UICDS deployment with participation from the Federal Government, technology providers and others. $$$
Japan (earthquake prediction)
The huge scale of the Great East Japan Earthquake is forcing the Japanese government to review the basic principles of its earthquake risk assessment system and may have far-reaching consequences for anti-quake measures in homes, offices and nuclear power plants across the country. The government’s Earthquake Research Committee said on June 9 that it would re-examine its methods of estimating the likelihood and scale of future earthquakes. $$$
United States (historic volcanoes)
The Jemez contains volcanic rocks erupted from >13 to 0.13 million years ago, with compositions ranging from basalt (low silica content) to rhyolite (high silica). The best known of these is the Bandelier Tuff, a thick sequence of pyroclastic deposits which were erupted in several phases around 1.62 to 1.25 million years ago. $$$
