Japan is one of the most disaster-prepared nations in the world, yet faces constant threats from earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and flooding. The 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami was one of the most devastating natural disasters in modern history. Japan's advanced early warning systems, strict building codes, and disaster education are models for the world.
