Meet Toshio Kurosawa Head of IT, Quintiles Japan
In Toshio’s words
24
2:00 PM We were spending busy Friday afternoon at the office. 2:46 PM Advance earthquake alert signal rang on some of mobile phones. 2:46 PM Suddenly, the office building moved & it was longer than usual. The move continued more than 5 minutes and during that period the building shake many times. 2:50PM News on TV alerted to the possibility of A huge tsunami & identified the epicenter.
In Toshio’s words
25
2:52PM Seems the earthquake stopped & we slowly started looking around. I send quick SMS to my family & I was so glad to get back SMS. 2:54PM We start checking for damage to our office and look around to make sure everyone is safe 2:55PM One of our fortunes was that we did not lose network connection or power so we started checking news on the Internet to get more information about the earthquake.
2:56PM Right after earthquake, all elevators stopped & mobiles were already hard to connect.
In Toshio’s words
26
2:58PM We did not get any alerts from our systems so we recognized that everything was working fine. 3:00PM The company announced that everyone can go home. 3:02PM I started working to check other floors and find some damage, but not serious, while the first Tsunami reached northern Japan.
3:20PM Met with senior management and reported no damage to IT. After that when I look outside, I saw smoke near our office.
In Toshio’s words
27
3:20PM At same time as manager meeting, TV news told us that the huge Tsunami was more than we expected and possibility of much death in that area. 3:30PM Back at my desk, some of our IT team start leaving office, but some of them already decide to stay overnight at the office because their homes were too far away to walk. 3:40PM When they get outside of building they see many people walking to their homes with their emergency bag and safety cap.
In Toshio’s words
28
3:46PM 1 hour past, TV news had been showing us live image of northern Japan & Tsunami. Death wave destroy everything in that area, it was hard to believe anyone could survive. We were starting to realize that the damage of this earthquake and Tsunami were huge with the possibility of more than 1,000 deaths. 5:00PM In IT, most had now left the Office, 4 decided to stay because their home was too far to walk.
In Toshio’s words
29
6:30PM I left the office to find my family. 7:30PM I met my family at the elementary school which was our temporary shelter. All of them were fine, even my 11 month old baby. She was sleeping without knowing what had happened on this day. 9:00PM I could go to my home with my family. There was some damage on the inside wall, glasses/dishes/plates broken & Books on floor. However, I was really glad that I could be home with my family. I know that there were thousands of people staying outside. <end>
