According an article published by the Wall Street Journal, they reported that companies such as Toshiba, SanDisk, Apple, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Boeing, and Sony all suffered a hit in their production and distribution values for the first quarter of earnings in 2011 (Clark & Takahashi, 2011).

Findings for the Japan earthquake and tsunami, the projected insured losses between two major global insurers and reinsurers ranged from $20BN-$30BN from AIR Worldwide, and $12BN- $25BN from EQECAT ("The Japanese earthquake," 2011)

17  Charity  According to an AARP online bulletin, U.S. organizations have donated a total of $24 million dollars to aid Japan in the most recent tsunami. This is a lot less than the $500 million that was raised to support Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
