How can we learn from the Disaster in Japan?
The only lesson we should learn is even if we reached the highest point of intelligence or evolution we must remember that we are not the greatest or the smartest we must be prepared for a bad thing to happen at anytime that's why we must remember that God is here we are not unstoppable.
Disasters could potentially happen to anyone in any country at any time so one thing we can and must do is to avoid becoming complacent and thinking that somehow we are completely safe or cushioned from bad things happening. We are most at risk /in danger in life when we continue to think: ''It will never happen to me!'' For then we tend to stop taking sensible precautions,e.g. like looking carefully before we cross the road.
We can and must take reasonable precautions to safeguard our country particularly those who are most vulnerable such as young children, the elderly and the disabled.
Perhaps, we as human beings need tostop and think What is the real purpose of our life on (this planet) earth? Humans should also look beyond the here and now and realize that so many of the material comforts that we in the Western world take for granted could be taken away from us in a natural disiater. eg money, our home, our possesions. What is most valuable in life: people or possessions?
There have been a number of earthquakes as well as other natural disasters occuring around the world eg the Tsunami , the earthquake in Chile , and the landslide in Australia. Jesus told his disciples as a prophecy that there would be earthquakes and famines and pestilences in different places. "For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilencees and earthquakes in various places." Matthew Ch 24 v 7
One final thought: perhaps we should honestly evaluate/think carefully about the true safety risks involved in building and using Nuclear power as a fuel for the future in light of yet another huge potential disaster The horrendous after-effects of the Chernobyl meltdown with the damage it has done to people's health causing leukemia in many many people particularly children should make people count the true cost in human lives and suffering. Thankfully few people were living in the area of Japan near the nuclear power stations but if that had happened in the U.K. perhaps it could have made a large area of England uninhabitable for countless future generations?

My greatest fear is that people will say, "Despite all of their preparations, the situation is a disaster, so lets save money and not prepare for disasters here."
"That's all well and good but how does it affect me."
I think it's too soon to talk about anything like this.
