Japan
• Japan is on the boundary of three plates and is prone to Earthquakes and volcanos.
• Japan has a lot of people in a small area. (high population density) lots of people are in or are near a building at any time.
• Buildings were built to be earthquake proof since 1981, older buildings were mainly wooden with heavy concrete roofs..
• Other structures like pipe work were probably older than 14 years and not properly designed.
• Japan has spent a lot of money preparing for earthquakes. In spite of it all there was death, damage, chaos and panic everywhere when the Kobe Earthquake struck in 1995.

The earthquake
• On 17 January 1995, very early in the morning, an earthquake struck the city of Kobe in Japan.
• For 20 seconds the ground shook violently. • The Focus of the earthquake was very close to the
earths syrface and Kobe city was 20 miles away from the epicentre.
• It measured 7.2 on the Richter Scale which is very big and will cause weak buildings to collapse.
• It was caused by the Pacific and the Philippine tectonic plates building up sufficient energy and stresses to move suddenly and violently.
• There were about 600 aftershocks, many buildings and roads collapsed because of the shocks and gas pipes and water pipes broke resulting in power cuts, fires and gas explosions and a lot of smoke.

The city and the buildings• At 5.46 am, when the earthquake struck Kobe, many people
were still asleep. Many older houses simply collapsed, killing all inside.
• Over 150 fires broke out around the city. • Most were caused by gas leaks. Often firemen could not
reach them because roads were blocked. And often they ran out of water because water mains had burst.
• The blocked streets made rescue difficult too. Thousands of victims were left in the cold without food, water or shelter, waiting for help.
• In the centre of the city, there were facilities for survivors with food and water and people could walk to a hospital more easily.
• Due to rubble on the roads and no water for fire engines, the emergency services struggled to get help to the old area of the city.

The people
• Around 5,000 people died and 250,000 more were left homeless.
• Crushing, fires, smoke inhalation killed most. • People who were injured couldn’t get water to
drink and had to breathe smoke filled air. • Many people who couldn’t get help, died in the
days after the collapse of the city.• Most who died were over 60 years old.

Kobe policeman
I saw rows of wooden houses burned to the ground - probably with people still inside. And
all morning I've been helping to pull dead bodies from the rubble on this street.

Kobe schoolgirl, 12
The shaking woke me up. I knew what it was. I saw the kitchen on fire. I helped dad pull my little brothers out and then we ran. Now we
are sitting in the cold in our coats and pyjamas, waiting for help.

Driver from a rescue team
My truck is full of medical supplies. People out there are dying - and I'm stuck here in a traffic jam. Big cracks in the road, and cars everywhere. You can imagine how I feel.
