Context as given in the above cited source: "There were many designated evacuation buildings and shelters that failed to protect lives because of the unexpected tsunami height and runup. For instance, a community gym was designated as an evacuation shelter in the flat region of Rikuzen-Takata city. The tsunami overwhelmed the gym, and only three people survived out of more than 80 evacuees. Another example in Rikuzen-Takata is a five-story residential building (Fig. 21, left). The tsunami reached only the fourth floor; however, the building had no stairway that would enable people to evacuate to the roof in the case of a larger tsunami. Another example of an unfortunate result of the unexpected tsunami was at Okawa primary school (Fig. 21, right), located near the mouth of a river. The tsunami claimed 74 out of a total of 108 children and 10 staff. Most of the children that survived climbed the mountain behind the school; the others went to the bridge where they were struck by the tsunami. The school had not conducted evacuation drills and had no tsunami plans before the 2011 event."
