COMPARISON!
Both the disasters were , well ... disastrous . Each effected their own countries in some of the worst ways possible . But what really happened? What is that one thing , that could have made it so much more better , that could have made the crisis so much more easier to handle ?
The earthquake in Haiti was not as disastrous as the tsunami and earthquake in Japan .
However , Japan is more economically developed than Haiti . Haiti wasn't prepared for such a disaster , and it completely destroyed the country . Japan had infrastructures , the money and the brains to recover .
Japan's recovery was easier done than the recovery in Haiti .
Japan's recovery was easier done than the recovery in Haiti .
Japan's earthquake and tsunami , seen on a scale , was much more disastrous than the quake in Haiti . The simple matter of money , made all the difference .
But what about its effect on the world?
The quake in Haiti may have destroyed the country in itself , but it didn't effect the economy of the world. Foreign aid acted out mostly because of empathy , not actual need for the nation to get back on its feet .
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan , however , did have its effect . The nuclear power plant leaked into the ocean because of the tsunami , and a part of the world depends on japan for their economy .
So I would say , the bigger MEDC it is , the more trouble it may provide .
So lets end this segment with :
"With great power , comes great responsibility"

RESTORING JAPAN :)
The government of Japan made every effort to restore Japan.When the actual earthquake struck, the government had warning sirens to alert the citizens. Since some sort of quake hits Japan every year, the government was prepared for a disaster like that on a smaller scale, and Japan has things like earthquake proof shelters set up around the country, and many of the buildings are also built to defend against earthquakes.The only foreign aid Japan needed was right after the earthquake , where people were called in to help the Japanese people with fresh supplies, such as food, water, clothes, medication and shelter.When this happened , the aid said , that even though the supplies were scarce , the Japanese were very polite and shared even one piece of food with each other . The government says , that recovery of the country would cost around 16-25 trillion yen. This cost includes fixing roads , buildings , homes and factories . Japan is a very united nation , and the path to recovery , is already being trodden on .

THE DESTRUCTION
HOW BAD WAS IT , REALLY ?
The earthquake had happened offshore , which then later resulted in a tsunami . There was a Nuclear Power Plant near the shore , and when the huge wave spilled , the power plant went into meltdown . The molten nuclear fuel leaked through the safety barriers , and went into the sea . A total of 12,431 people died . Over 163,000 were put in evacuation shelters around the country . Fixing everything without foreign help would cost 16-25 trillion yen , which covers repairing damage to roads , homes , factories and other infrastructure .
