The nation is now doing a comprehensive “rethink on how to mitigate the effects of disasters.” “Longstanding assumptions” are being overturned to envision even greater seismic risk. The newspaper emphasizes, “It would be wrong to dwell on such matters all the time. Despite its vulnerability to natural disaster, orderly Japan remains one of the world’s safest places to live.”
