Context as given in the above cited source: "Despite high house damage and the largest runup height (Fig. 26, right), fatalities as a result of the 2011 tsunami were much smaller because tsunami experience resulted in the people recognizing the need to evacuate, and evacuating quickly. The tsunami evacuation effect can also be confirmed by the number of deaths per damaged house, which is shown in Fig. 26, left. For the 1896 tsunami, there were more than 2.0–4.5 deaths per damaged house whereas for the 2011 tsunami there are <0.5 deaths per damaged house. One reason why the number of deaths for the 1933 tsunami was still high in some locations can be explained by using Taro town as an example. The 1896 tsunami killed nearly 90 % of the people in Taro town. Therefore, most of the people who were affected by the 1933 tsunami were newcomers who had settled in the area after the 1896 tsunami."
