Item Description
Knowledge Notes, Cluster 2: Nonstructural Measures, Note 2-8 September 23, 2012. For more than four centuries Japan has been developing forested green belts to mitigate coastal hazards such as sandstorms, salty winds, high tides, and tsunamis.
Although Japan’s green belts were severely damaged by the March 11 tsunami, they did reduce the impact of waves, and protected houses by capturing floating debris. Local governments are planning to reconstruct the green belts as a countermeasure again
