These communities’ entire way of life is based on fishing and having the harbor. Surrounding terrain is very steep and rugged except at the river mouths. Meanwhile, the entire nation is subject to earthquake damage. So just leaving is not as strategic as it sounds…

Yes! In the 2011 tsunami in Japan, the numerous designated tsunami-evacuation buildings saved many thousands of lives. They didn’t have special purpose towers there, as far as I know. But southern Japan has many, especially in places like Kure without tall buildings, as seen in my pics.

We spent 15 days up there, and saw no sign of other people. Pretty amazing, when we were in the heart of a well-known national park and less than 70 miles from UW campus! But a hard place to get to: we needed helicopter support to do this work.
