The most significant challenge in my opinion is having to deal with the aftershock of it all; dealing with the death toll, future warnings, and radioactivity all leads to the tsunami’s economic toll. It all falls down into the monster aftershock of the entire experience, and the problems that are soon to come. The economic toll modestly lowered due to the tremendous human and social costs of the disaster.

These articles reveal the struggle and more stress put upon an already indebt country. All of the damage will evidentally hurt Japan’s GDP for some time. Paying for the rebuilding risks hurting demands for Japanese government bonds; and this is where WE step in. We are helping contribute to the funds, food surplus, and proper aid needed to help obtain country well enough. Though Japan’s sovereign debt was recently lowered in rank, with our help: their government has less stress put upon them and they wouldn’t be put at much risk. By all of the preceding, this ultimately leads to the economic toll.

It is important for Japna to be able to rebuild it’s cities because of the citizens living there and for people all over the world. There is many car dealers and resources that other countries need that Japan contain so other countries are also affected by this. Citizens won’t have electricty for weeks because people are still scared of what else can happen. Without money it’s hard for a country to function because bascially everything depends on money. In order for Japan to get of of this challenge they will need: 1. The help of other countries(The more the merrier), 2, Food and medicine to be donated, and 3. Volunteers who are willing to help with the recontrustion of Japan.

Haiti’s earthquake was very different because theirs was not as severe as Japan’s and did not have a tsunami come directly afterward allowing them to have less damage and more survivors because people in Haiti would only be trapped under debris when in Japan they can be trapped under debris, drowned or knocked out by debris being carried by the water.

Impact On Japan:
These articles show that Japanese people realize that the country is in major devastation and are running to all stores to stock up on food and clothes before they run out. This shows that there could be a slight possibility that the country could be in famine soon.

What It Will Take to Overcome This Challenge:
• surplus of goods will need to be obtained
• aid from other countries will be needed
• funding for clothing and food production to restart
