During the 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake of Magnitude 9 in Kamaishi city, nearly all 3,000 students in the city survived. Students were evacuated to higher grounds immediately after the earthquake struck, saving them from the tsunami caused by the earthquake.

Around 100,000 members of the Japanese Self-Defense Force were rapidly mobilized to deal with the crisis. In addition, the Japanese government requested that U.S. military personnel stationed in the country be available to help in relief efforts, and a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier was dispatched to the area. Several countries, including Australia, China, India, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United States, sent search-and-rescue teams, and dozens of other countries and major international relief organizations such as the Red Cross and Red Crescent pledged financial and material support to Japan. In addition, a large number of private and nongovernmental organizations within Japan and worldwide soon established relief funds to aid victims and assist with rescue and recovery efforts.

Following the 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake, about 500,000 people were originally displaced by the tsunami. Two years after the disaster, a small number of people still remained in emergency centres. However, more than 300,000 displaced residents were living in tens of thousands of prefabricated temporary housing units that had been set up in Sendai and other tsunami-damaged locations or were in some other type of domicile, such as hotels, public housing units, or private homes. Four years after the disaster, some 230,000 people were still displaced, a large number of them because of the continuation of the evacuation zone around the Fukushima plant.y had been rehoused in settlements with enhanced tsunami-proof features. In the port town of Rikuzentakata, the ground level of sites for new houses was raised by 10 metres, and two more protective seawalls that are 3 metres and 12.5 metres high.
