On March 11, 2011 the Great East Japan Earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that devastated Ishinomaki City in Miyagi Prefecture and killed nearly 4,000 residents, the most of any municipality impacted by the quake.
To understand why so many residents failed to escape, and to pass on lessons of tsunami evacuation to future generations, a legacy group conducted a survey of 100 survivors.
