arouse people‘s tension and panic.<br />

I met a psychologist two days before the earthquake. He said that psychological<br />

education in Japan is very general and graduates who study psychology are spread<br />

over different social institutions. When something urgent happens, there are three<br />

kinds <strong>of</strong> workers who come at the foremost time to the scene: firemen, news<br />

reporters and consulting psychologists. Because <strong>of</strong> the direction <strong>of</strong> the<br />

psychologists, the psychology <strong>of</strong> the public are inquired and comforted. Panic is<br />

reduced and depression is controlled or removed. The necessity <strong>of</strong> psychologists in<br />

Japanese society is one <strong>of</strong> the symbols <strong>of</strong> the advancement <strong>of</strong> psychological<br />

education and the maturity <strong>of</strong> psychological works. Moreover, the Japanese<br />

government‘s abilities and experiences <strong>of</strong> dealing with crises are considerably<br />

mature. Governments <strong>of</strong> all levels have already set up Emergency Institutions. Once<br />

there is an earthquake, they can at once devote to working.<br />

After I have experienced personally in Japan this earthquake, I feel that the whole<br />

Japanese society has taken plenty <strong>of</strong> measures before and after accidents. When we<br />

delegates first arrived in Sendai on 23rd, I saw notices like ―Emergency Refuge‖.<br />

Within my rage <strong>of</strong> knowledge, ―refuge‖ seems to be a word that only related to<br />

politics and religion. But the local foreign students told me that people will come to<br />

live here whenever there is an earthquake, since Japan is a country with a lot <strong>of</strong><br />

earthquakes. ―Emergency Refuges‖ can be public gyms or playgrounds, universities,<br />

high schools or city parks.<br />

In this information age, refuge, news and psychological consultation become more<br />

important than in usual times. Apart from have institutions set up and polices made<br />

for managing accidents, the government should make good preparations <strong>of</strong> daily<br />

education and training <strong>of</strong> these three fields.<br />
