Typhoon Dolphin is moving through East Asia with enough force to set two of the region's largest nations into motion — Japan ordering evacuations and canceling hundreds of flights, China shuttering ports and schools along its eastern coast.

In moments like these, the machinery of collective preparedness reveals both how much societies have learned from past storms and how much remains beyond human control.
