Tomita Fumiaki, Assistant Professor of Tohoku University International Research Institute of Disaster Science, says that memories of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have been fading.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency withdrew a tsunami advisory after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of southwest Japan.

At least eight people have died after a powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.5 struck Japan on Monday, officials said.

Architects, engineers and urban planners have long sought to disaster-proof Japan’s buildings through ancient wisdom, modern innovation and ever-evolving regulations.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake on Friday shook eastern Japan, including Tokyo, but officials said there were no threats of a tsunami.
