Abstract
On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake rocked Japan and created a tsunami
that devastated the country’s northeastern coastline, leaving 24,000 dead or
missing. Tens of thousands lost their homes and are living in shelters. This
human tragedy was compounded by further misery as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant was crippled by the tsunami and release of radiation, contaminating food
and water and forcing thousands to flee.
