| Popis: | This paper presents an assessment of the multi-layered safety system in Tohoku, Japan based on the tsunami disaster of March 2011. The performed analysis has been based on data provided by local researchers and field observations. First an overview of the tsunami behaviour along the affected coastline of Tohoku is presented, which shows clearly that the disaster has site-specific features. The assessment that follows has a descriptive character and it is divided in two parts. First the performance of each safety layer in Tohoku is separately assessed, and conclusions are drawn for the efficiency of the system. The second part points out some implications of this disaster for the use of multi-layered safety in flood risk management. |
