Based on research conducted in Japan this past summer, Dr. Arnold Howitt, Faculty Co-Director of the Program on Crisis Leadership, will explore Japan’s emergency response to the catastrophic Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011. Among other things, he will discuss how the response played out across various levels of government (local, prefectural, and national), and offer recommendations for how Japan can improve its disaster response for the future.
