Fig. 3. P-wave spectral ratios of the Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake compared with the Mw 6.1 reference earthquake over the main Japanese Islands.

Also shown are the surface wave spectrum for the same time window at SYTH and the spectrum of P-waves at KWBH from the Mw 6.1 reference earthquake.

The methodology makes use of an integrated deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analysis to select the reference earthquake and the related ground motion used to assess the local seismic response.

Hokkaido is located close to the null-axis directions of source mechanisms of the Tohoku-Oki and the reference earthquakes (Fig. 3).

This goal is achieved by calculating the source contribution to hazard and the magnitude distance deaggregation, showing that, varying the selected frequency and the level of hazard, the reference earthquakes are changed as a result.

A systematic approach is proposed for formulating risk-based cost-effective criteria for the design and upgrading of structures with special reference to earthquake protection.

"Lessons Learned" are considered as essential references for earthquake disasters preparedness (Zhang et al. 2012) and contributes to a culture of resilience and earthquake disaster risk reduction (Ibrion et al. 2015c), as their purpose is to mitigate "short cuts to disasters" (Ozerdem and Barakat 2000, p. 425).

The only reference to earthquake-related effects was found in report by the Franciscan friar Vitale Andriasci (1667): "The sea receded, then raised two fathoms (in the town harbour of Ragusa), and maintained this change in its natural level for the space of three days".

As an example, it was considered the European Lead-cooled System (ELSY) international project response under a reference design basis earthquake (Safe Shutdown Earthquake-SSE) excitation, taking into account also the main isolating device effects in order to increase the reactor safety.

"6000 miles away," a reference to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last year, is being presented by the Joyce Theater Foundation.
