(1) By Mr. Ibrahim Gamal Ibrahim ZAHRA (Egypt, Seismology Course)

In As H. G. Wells once said, “adapt or perish, now as ever is nature inexorable imperative,”
that was our impression during our study trip to Miyagi and Niigata prefectures.

(4)By Mr. Jorge Alberto Stanley FLORES GONZALEZ (El Salvador, Earthquake Engineering Course)

I know that Japan is one of the countries in the world most prepared and used to earthquakes,
but the one as intense as that took place on March 11, 2011 accompanied by tsunami
that devastated everything in its path was beyond what they have had.
