    Dec 21 2022

    Emergency and disaster management concepts mentioned in this episode are blue-sky and gray-sky days. The popular 90s videogame that this podcast resembles uses a "save room" where all is quiet and safe. The save room is used to symbolize blue sky days; days when things are quiet and safe.

  • NATECH Disasters
    Dec 17 2022

    At 2:46 in the afternoon, on March 11th, 2011, a 9.0-magnitude

    earthquake caused a 55.88 meters tsunami wave that reached 6 miles inland.

    Houses and business buildings were reduced to piles of scattered wood, vehicles were carried away by the rushing water, and boats lay on the streets.

    As

    the water receded, debris and people were dragged back into the ocean. This

    earthquake and the subsequent tsunami caused two of the nuclear reactors

    closest to the epicenter to shut down. The inundation caused by the tsunami

    also led to the failure of the backup generators.

    With the power source and backup power source shut off, the reactor cores overheated

    causing the fuel rods to partially melt and burn through the containment

    vessels, exposing the nuclear material, releasing radiation into the atmosphere.

    This and the accumulation of hydrogen gas set off a fire.

    They

    attempted to stabilize the reactors by pumping seawater into them. Drainage

    from the water caused further contamination in the surrounding ocean causing the need for a mass evacuation from those lands as well. The official total of dead and missing was nearly 20,000.
