Hydro-meteorological Disasters Associated with Tsunamis and Earthquakes

Earthquakes and tsunamis increase the risks of hydro-meteorological disasters. After the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE), disaster-prevention structures such as coastal and river dikes were quickly rehabilitated. A phased process of rehabilitati...
