Summary
A devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake has struck Japan. International Medical Corps' emergency response team is on the ground, focusing on reaching affected-communities that are currently isolated.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The earthquake and the massive tsunami that followed have caused unimaginable devastation. Entire communities have been leveled and the death toll continues to soar. Many are still missing and millions of others are without water, electricity, or basic supplies.
How will this project solve this problem?
We are coordinating with local health officials & partners in Japan to support response efforts & fill critical gaps. We will also deliver vital supplies to the hardest-hit communities.
Potential Long Term Impact
International Medical Corps will use expertise gained from responses following the 2010 Haiti earthquake & 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami to support local health authorities w/relief efforts long-term.
Project Message
“Local systems are going to be overwhelmed…there are lots of consequences to a community when a major disaster strikes like that.”
