Abstract
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.
