Japan

The earthquake and the subsequent tsunami, which barely effected use here in Hawaii, had dramatic effects within Japan. The problem extends beyond the initial cost of life. While these death are unfortunate, more significant problems were caused for Japan as a whole. A broad general problem that can be broken down into more precise areas is the destruction caused. People lose there homes, business are destroyed, can transportation becomes a problem. With wide spread destruction, sanitation becomes a problem. It becomes hard for people to find clean water; disease are also able to spread more rapid. One particular problem in this situation is in regards to the nuclear plant. With the explosions at the Fukushima and Onagawa nuclear power plant, radiation is becoming a risk. The US government are urging the citizen to evacuted if they are within a 50mile of Fukushima.
