[Finished] 1960 Newspaper Exhibition -Learn from the Lessons of the Chilean Earthquake and Tsunami-

The Minamisanriku 311 Memorial will hold a special exhibition "1960 Newspaper Exhibition -Learn from the Lessons of the Chilean Earthquake and Tsunami-" from May 17th.

<Duration> May 17th (Wednesday) - June 12th (Monday)
<Time> 9:00 to 17:00
<Closed> Every Tuesday

At the entrance of the museum, we will exhibit an article from the Kahoku Shimpo, which reported on the Chilean earthquake and tsunami, published on May 24, 1960. At that time, an earthquake that occurred far off the coast of Chile in South America reached the Sanriku coast and caused many casualties in Minamisanriku Town. This disaster experience became the basis for Minamisanriku's disaster prevention plan prior to the Great East Japan Earthquake. We will hold an exhibition to learn the preparations to protect lives from the lessons of natural disasters that have repeatedly occurred and caused unexpected damage.

We look forward to seeing you there.
