Earlier this year, Japan experienced a massive earthquake and tsunami, triggering the most complex nuclear disaster in history and causing billions of dollars in damage. Prior to the earthquake, Japan had invested substantial resources in mitigating its buildings and preparing for future disasters. What’s next for Japan? What can we learn from its experiences as we prepare for future earthquakes? With planning expert Laurie Johnson, UC Berkeley engineering professor Jack Moehle and UCSF psychiatry professor Craig Van Dyke. This event is generously supported by Degenkolb Engineering.
