Miyagi Prefecture Earthquake Disaster Recovery Plan～ The bond between Miyagi, Tohoku and Japan - from Recovery to Prosperity ～

The prefectural government decided to develop the Miyagi Prefecture Earthquake Disaster Recovery Plan as a result of the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake that struck and caused catastrophic damage to Miyagi Prefecture. The Miyagi Prefecture Earthquake Disaster Plan is one of proposals because it is necessary to bring in new methods and design different from the past in order to achieve the recovery efforts.

The basic principles are (1) Developing a disaster-resistant and secure community, (2) Each citizen is a key player in the recovery efforts; using all available resources, (3) Not only restoration, but also reconstruction, (4) Progressive community development that will solve issues in modern society, and (5) Building a model outlining steps from catastrophic damage to recovery.
