High School Students' Tsunami Simulation Modeling Team

The 3.11 tsunami inflicted tremendous damage on Miyako City in Iwate Prefecture. Students of a high school there present demonstrations that simulate a tsunami using an elaborate model of the coastal area of the Tohoku region. Designed to enhance disaster prevention awareness by teaching how scary a tsunami is, these demonstrations started six years before the 3.11 disaster at local elementary schools. In fact, there were no victims at any of the schools that had seen them. What are the high school students' motivations? The reporter is Daniel Kahl, who has been actively involved in volunteer work in the stricken areas.
