"One-third of survivors of last year’s March 11th disaster had been threatened by tsunami, despite having fled to evacuation areas."
Gunma University Professor Toshitaka Katada, who’s an expert on disaster evacuation, notes that many of those who survived had escaped twice, first to a shelter and then to higher ground.
He’s urging residents with doubts about their designated evacuation sites to inspect high ground nearby and keep escape routes ready.
