The United Nations of Earth reporting on this issue: ""A solemn day of remembrance" - UN Chief on Anniversary of Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami"
The topics: Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations on the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. "Today is a solemn day of remembrance for the 18,400 people who died or are still missing as a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami ten years ago.  My condolences go to those who continue to grieve the loss of loved ones.   And I think of those who remain displaced, unable to return to their homes because of safety concerns surrounding the destroyed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.  In that respect, I welcome the reassuring findings of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation.  Japan is leading the world when it comes to disaster prevention.   The country has invested heavily in building back safer over the last ten years.  And it has helped to share the lessons learned for the future.  The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, adopted six years ago, is a global blueprint for a safer world.  To prevent and manage disasters, countries need to plan, invest, give early warnings and provide education on what to do."
