Rebuilding Places and Reconstructing Lives - Two Weeks after the Great East Japan Earthquake -
Two weeks after the earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan, more than 20,000 people are dead or unaccounted for. Work goes on to help survivors in affected areas, but daily necessities and drugs are not reaching many of the shelters. In part, this is because of the vastness of the area that was devastated, making restoration of infrastructure extremely difficult.
We'll examine the current situation in affected areas and discuss challenges that lie ahead with a university professor who worked for the reconstruction of Kobe after the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. We'll also talk with a doctor from the Japanese Red Cross who rushed to the affected area immediately after the quake.
Guests:
Yoshiaki Kawata, Kansai University Professor, and Disaster Prevention & Human Renovation Inst. Director
Yasuyuki Mochida, Doctor, Omori Red Cross Hospital
