Japan is known for its rigorous earthquake preparedness, having implemented strict building codes, early warning systems, and extensive public education on disaster response. However, the severity of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami overwhelmed even these measures. While many structures performed well, the scale of the disaster revealed vulnerabilities, particularly in coastal areas and infrastructure. Overall, Japan's preparedness helped mitigate some impacts, but the event still highlighted areas for improvement.
