Critical analysis of crisis management in Japan through nine disaster scenarios Life is full of hazards, with impending calamity around every corner. We know disaster will strike, but we don t know where or when. How can we prepare of such an uncertain world? The string of mishaps at Fukushima brought home the sad truth that inappropriate risk-management can turn unfortunate events into crises. The Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident highlighted numerous problems with personnel, physical resources, decision-making, research, emergency communications, preparedness manuals, expert advisors and so on. And Fukushima will not be the last set of crises to face the nation. Sooner or later, a major earthquake will strike Tokyo and it s only a matter of time before we see a cyber-terrorist attack, a military confrontation, a pandemic or an energy shortage. The nine real-world scenarios analysed in this book identify real issues within Japan s current crisis-management systems issues that must be addressed before it s too late.
