DigitalGlobe’s FirstLook imagery service provides a before and after imagery-based perspective of the aftermath of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck Japan’s coast on March 11, 2011. This prototype FirstWatch imagery report provides an initial imagery and geospatially-based assessment of the damage seen at the two Fukushima nuclear power plants (Fukushima Dai-ichi; Fukushima Dai-ni) and in Sendai, a port city in northeastern Japan. Imagery collected on March 12, 2011 reveals widespread destruction including evidence of collapsed structures, extensive debris, massive flooding and damage to key infrastructure caused by the earthquake and the tsunami.
