Overview
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 stressed the importance of various stakeholders' involvement in DRR and showed the "Build Back Better" concept. In the process of recovery and reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake in Sendai, there was a huge driving force in various efforts which were backed by citizens and local communities. In this session, while also introducing how we created systems for DRR efforts other than infrastructure development, we will discuss how we can implement the "Build Back Better".
