Community Rebuilding Efforts in the Post-3.11 Japan
Wednesday, March 20 at 12:00 p.m.
Guggenheim 201E, CU-Boulder campus

Come and hear a first hand account of relief work in the wake of the 3.11 triple disaster in North Eastern Japan. What were the immediate challenges faced by victims and relief workers? What are the long term issues? How does a country with highly developed technology and top notch disaster preparedness deal with a natural disaster that exceeds all expectations and breaks all simulated models?

A brown bag event featuring Jim Peterson, missionary in Japan with the Evangelical Covenant Church for the last twenty years. Mr. Peterson was born and raised in Japan, earned his B.A. from University of Washington, Jackson School of International Studies (Japan Regional Studies), his M.
