INTRODUCTION
Japan was hit with one of the most powerful earthshaking in the northeastern shores of
japan n the year 2011. The much-feared Earthquake had a magnitude of 9.0 scale reading caused
a lot of ocean ripples accompanied by numerous tsunami waves (Mori et al, 2011). The
magnitude was so great that the waves of Tsunami extensively spread over the shoreline and
rising up to 40 meters high above the sea level. The effect of the northeastern tsunami n japan
was so devastating as it was so powerful to the extent that it tore the towns within the coastal
towns and villages into pieces, swept hundreds of ships into the land, flooding thousands of
homes within the villages, then carried away the debris of flood back into the sea again (Miyagi
et al, 2011).

Figure 2: The extent and magnitude of earthquake on coastal towns(Uchida et al, 2016)
The Earthquake and Tsunami of northeastern Japan occurred on the 11th of March 2011.
The earthshaking commenced with a strong and more powerful earth tremor in Honshu in the
Northeastern coastal town of Japan (Uchida et al, 2016). The tremor then spread the damage to
the inland that initiated a series of powerful Tsunami that disoriented many coastal cities of the
country. The greatest impact of the Great Sendai Earthquake was dearly felt in the Tohoku
regions of the northeastern Honshu. The aftermath of the Sendai Earthquake resulted in more
other disasters such as the major nuclear accidents and power faults along the coastal regions of
japan. The magnitude of 9.0 earthquakes had its epicenter 130 kilometers east of the Sendai city,
and its focus occurred at a depth of 30 kilometers below the perfect floor level. The most
devastating aftermath of the Sendai earthquake exposed the vulnerability of the middle-class
people of the Japan coastal towns and villages as their lives almost came to a standstill as the
earth tremor destroyed their belongings. Since that tragic occurrence, the Sendai community
