Story of one emergency broadcaster!
May

Ms. Miki Endo (age 25) worked for the city and was the broadcaster who broadcasted the Tsunami evacuation announcement. Because of the announcement thousands of people evacuated to the higher ground.
She broadcasted the announcements until the very end from the second floor of the city's emergency response center building (picture above). Only 10 people survived when 10m high Tsunami hit this building clinging on to the radio tower on top of this building. Everyone who evacuated to the roof of this building were swept away and Miki was one of them.
People remember her voice and told her mother, Mieko (age 53), told reporter that she has done good and very proud. "I am glad to see her (body) again." Those stories must be told.
