- Anticipated catastrophic disasters
- Advanced information strategies
- Mega city disasters
Outline
The Science Council of Japan will create a forum for considering disaster prevention in the future through the two proposals. The first is a proposal to apply the lessons learned from past disasters to reducing the damage caused by the catastrophic disasters that are expected to occur in Japan, entitled “Preparing for Regional Wide-Area Disasters in the Event of a Large-Scale Earthquake in the Nankai Trough, etc., Based on the Lessons Learned from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake and Torrential Rain Disaster”. The second is a proposal to develop these domestic lessons and contribute to disaster prevention in the world, particularly in Asia, entitled “Scientific and Technological Innovation to Strengthen Disaster Prevention in Mega-Cities Where Catastrophic Disasters Are Expected to Occur”. This session will be an opportunity to gather opinions from a wide range of citizens and local communities, with the theme of “Preparing for Catastrophic Disasters: Learning from the Lessons of the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995, the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, and the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2024”.
