东京大学地震专家TED演讲：面对地震，靠什么来拯救生命？

8.8日晚四川九寨沟发生了7.0级地震，8.9日早上新疆又地震了，所以有一定的地震自救知识是必须的，今天英语演讲君通过东京大学的地震研究所的日本地震学家黑井聪子博士的TED演讲和大家普及一下《面对地震，靠什么来拯救生命》。

“我保证，我不会让震中死去的两万人白白逝去！”，来自东京大学的地震研究所的日本地震学家黑井聪子博士说，光靠地震知识远远不够拯救地震灾害中危及的生命，要通过防灾演习等方式提高民众应对突发灾害的求生能力，并改善建筑的质量和设计才是可行之法。

黑井博士在演讲最后说：“3.11地震直接向我指出一点，告诉我们，知识或者干预措施都不能拯救人们的生命。我知道我还在达成目标的半路上，但是我相信孩子们的学校教育是有用的。因为10年后，他们将是22岁，他们中有些人会成为学校老师。再过10年，他们将是32岁，他们中的许多都结婚了，成为了家长。我坚信孩子们的学校教育是有用的，所以20后，日本应对灾难的能力，会完全不一样，会比现在强大很多很多。在这里，我承诺我不会让3.11地震中死去的2万人白白逝去”

good afternoon everyone it's kind of strange that um I gotta talk in English, you know in front of a lot of gypsies,but I nominated anything it is that I have to.

ok ok I'm to start with, I'm sake from the earthquake research is dit from the University of Tokyo, just start with i would like you to guess what this is I guess many of our Japanese got to know that this is the earthquake early warning system ,this system informs you the intensity or the time log till the promotion comes so everytime earthquake occurs in Japan. I get this information what day or night and I get this information to myself ,one, because I'm seismologist who is in charge of giving information to the public, so why did I become seismologist,I spend a usual day on the day of kobe earthquake 17 years ago, I was high school student in Tokyo, and I didn't know what was going on in kobe and when I got home, oh my gosh, all the TV program shows this devastating disaster girl who is at the same ages meet kept shouting to this Rumble.

okay okay she's screaming to her mom and I was having you know smoking hot dinner and I couldn't understand why I'm having this dinner and she's screaming there we're having the same time so that night I decided to become seismologist and eleven years later I got doctor degree in seismology at this university. so here's the next question to you what is this yeah actually ten percent of the earthquakes occur in this country, we occupy only 1% of the earth's surface but earthquake occurs 10 times more so if you live in Japan, you should know about earthquakes in other words you are asked to have high earthquake literacy.

so I made all the efforts to give information to the public I delivered lectures to school kids and actually those meet school students there from toku regions, so I taught them what the tsunami is and what they should do to escape from Tommy, a year before the hook earthquake,so let's think about the literacy earthquake literacy in 2004 margarita nine earthquake hits matra it cause 200,000 colonies which is ten times as many as we had into an a research revealed that only thirty percent of the people in Indonesia have known the relation between earthquake and tsunami, this number goes to ninety-seven percent in our country even before the touhou earthquake.

of course we have higher ed walls and also the tsunami warning system but I thought yes I was right the earthly courtesy is one of the most important things to save our lives , that's what I thought but I was completely defeat it when i saw this movie this is a movie shot on a day in a city of miracle.

I show you there's a three-meter only three matter warning was issued and this city is surrounded by eight major hi Reba wall and as you can see Tamara height tsunami attacked the city, actually this is the hometown of next speakers father, so I know as a seismologist I really feel guilty for them, there are more than hundred people died in this area, so you know every single person in this city no the relation be when tsunami and earthquake, but the three made a high the three major issue the warning made the people vulnerable and eight metre high ball ask two people from this massive tsunami.

so more than a week, I kept googling their names from the evacuees list, you know,did I tell them right thing? I should have failed them the warning can be underestimated,  or that tsunami can easily over top the real,  all those researchers should tell the deficit over knowledge or the limit of current sciences so the earthquake literacy can decrease the commodities from 200,000 to 20,000 but eat alone cannot bring it to 0,  so we all have to go beyond the literacy and I still don't know what I can do,  I Stephen no I still don't know the answer but i found the ray of hope in school education in Japan.

We have several times of earthquake drill a year at schools , normally there's an announcement saying earthquake drill rig drill cover yourself under your desk something like that, and kids going to do like this, ok let's see, what will happen in real earthquake, so this is the movie from the colbert earthquake. it was shot by the security camera at the convenience store and then black out.

So well you can go to the broadcasting room with this, you know promotion and even though he reached there, you know what he gonna do is this black out you won't work,  so I suggested arranging the education the earthquake drill to let them think what they should do to positively protect their lives by themselves, the traditional earthquake drill is the training from kids to follow.

What teachers set the brand new standard of earthquake drill should be to let them decide what they should do to protect their lives, so I have this little earthquake drill in any kind of situation, such as , you know, in the music room library without any desks and they themselves think what they should do.

After two years of having this kind of earthquake drill ,the tohoku earthquake attacked this school and in the next slide I'll show the movie which was shot by chance on that they at this school there in the gym preparing for the graduation ceremony, so they did the right thing to protect their lives immediately, so this is going to be my last light, the more deviant the earthquake, it a finger three at me saying neither the knowledge or the interpretation saving people's life and i know i'm still halfway to my goal.

But i bet the school education for kids because in 10 years they'll be 22 years old and some of them become school teachers and in another 10 years, they'll be 32 years old and many of them got married and many of them become parents like me .this is another serious problem , but I'm gonna not talk about him to the head, so I bet the school education for kids so  in 20 years the potential of Japan against disaster will be totally different would be much much better than what it is right now and here i promise that i want waste 20,000 of lives lost on Martin event thank you。
