Current Projects in place:

 

Since 2012: Kyoto University Disaster Prevention Research Institute has spearheaded the research project on “Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Information for the Next Generation”. By sharing useful tips and looking into leading information on disaster prevention and mitigation research, and through mutual participation and practice in various types of local disaster prevention activities, the project aims to prepare people to brace themselves in the event of a massive earthquake and tsunami disaster and intends to strengthen the society with a disaster preparedness plan. This project is supported by the Ministry of Education’s “special expenses funds”.

 

Since 2014: Disaster Mitigation Society Project supported by the Cabinet Office
