A massive quake triggered a series of tsunamis of unprecedented dimension, as well as the subsequent nuclear accident. Sensitive facilities need to be protected against low-probability and complex events because damage to such facilities can have a cascading effect, multiplying the destruction and leading to irreversible human, social, economic, and environmental impacts. This report gives findings; lessons; and recommendations for developing countries.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTACCIDENTSBUILDING CODESCASUALTIESCASUALTYCATASTROPHIC EVENTSCIVIL ENGINEERINGCIVIL ENGINEERSCONSTRUCTIONCOOLINGDAMAGESDISASTERDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESDISASTER RISKDISASTERSEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESELECTRIC POWEREMERGENCY RECOVERYEMERGENCY RESPONSEENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEVACUATIONEXPLOSIONEXPLOSIONSEXTREME EVENTSFIREFIREFIGHTERSGASGENERATORGENERATORSHEALTH HAZARDSHEALTH RISKSHIGH LEVELSIMPACT EVENTSLEAKAGELIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASNATURAL HAZARDSNUCLEAR ACCIDENTSNUCLEAR POWERNUCLEAR POWER STATIONSNUCLEAR SAFETYPETROLEUMPIPELINESPOWER STATIONRADIATIONRADIOACTIVE MATERIALSRADIOACTIVITYRECOVERY OPERATIONSRESCUERISK ASSESSMENTSAFETYSEAWATERSTRUCTURESTSUNAMITSUNAMISWorld Bank10.1596/16162
