Resumen
Descripción
As in every disaster, certain groups
were more vulnerable than others to the effects of the Great
East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). Two-thirds of those who lost
their lives were over 60 years old. Response efforts to the
catastrophe also affected social groups differently and
reflected existing inequities, particularly with respect to
women. Children, the elderly, and the disabled also have
special needs, which were not always met. These vulnerable
groups should also be engaged in the planning, design, and
implementation of relief and recovery activities to ensure a
more effective and efficient recovery, and contribute to
more sustainable and resilient communities in the
longer-term. This report gives immediate impact of the
disaster; response and early recovery; empowering
marginalized groups for long-term recovery; lessons; and
recommendations for developing countries.
