Japan has a population of over 127 million and the casualties of the March 2011 earthquake (and resulting tsunami) were devastating but small (0.01%) in comparison to the entire population.
The death toll was on the order of ten to twenty thousand. The deaths would have been considerably higher had the Japanese not evacuated much of the coastal areas.
