Japan is a country which is good at crisis prevention. No matter they always can minimize the death toll whether they encounter an earthquake or a volcano eruption. That is a quite important thing we can learn.
回覆刪除Taiwan is located in the ring of fire, the same with Japan. We all should probe the volcano activity to avoid accident. Although this time's volcano eruption was unable to be monitored , Japan has done well! Hope the victims' family could recover from the tragedy soon.
