Mission

Our mission is to end the misery of people suffering from disasters by caring for the victims and working to reduce disaster risks worldwide.

 

 

Vision

We will create an international forum for sharing solution-oriented disaster risk reduction. It will provide an opportunity for professionals as well as citizens and students to come together to talk and learn about practical solutions for disaster risk reduction. When we hear the words "disaster risk reduction," we tend to think of it as serious, something that needs to be done, and more gray than interesting. It makes no sense if the dialogue is carried out only by experts and practitioners and without involving the general public. Good ideas are born in a positive atmosphere. At the World BOSAI Forum, we hope to create a place where various participants can learn about disaster reduction while having fun.

 

 

Values

We have real experiences and wisdom learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. We highly value the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and support its implementation at all levels. We believe that through diverse international exchanges, we can create new value for disaster risk reduction.

 

Diversity

We respect diversity in terms of race, gender, age, disability, nationality, religion, and social, economic, and political status. Regardless of these differences, we will strive to conduct our activities in a fair and honest manner.

The Forum aims to serve as a basis for the sharing of research, technology, and experience in disaster prevention among people and its spread throughout the world.

This logo was created with the image of "a sign of knowledge sharing a vision of disaster prevention”. The logo depicts a diverse group of people gathered at one "table" to think, discuss, and create.

The four-colored shapes in the logo represent the four priorities of industry, government, academia, and the private sector, as well as the four priority actions of the "Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. We believe that the creative ideas that emerge from these flexible discussions will contribute to the future.
