Abstract
Although there were no significant physical damages in Tokyo, as a result of the Tohoku Pacific Earthquake (known as the Great East Japan Earthquake in Japan) on 11th March 2011, a couple of thousand Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) were out of service for more than a week. Most banks’ critical operations were impacted due to the shortage of electrical power supply. The purpose of this study is to review those incidents from a banking operational point of view. The business continuity challenges have been analyzed and the resulting set of recommendations are discussed in this paper.
