Background

    As shown by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake、 Asia-Pacific Region is an area with high risk of catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Once a disaster occurs、 in today's highly globalized economy、 it can create unpredictable turmoil all over the world、 not just in the affected area. Countermeasures against these large-scale disasters are crucial for the sustainable development of the global economy to ensure human security. Now is the time to establish an effective international framework where we collaborate and develop a system to gather information on disaster mitigation in Asia-Pacific Region、 including Japan.

Purpose

  • Enhance collaboration among geological institutes within the Asia-Pacific Region and rearrange existing information about the future risk for global earthquakes and volcanic disasters.
  • Build international and national networks、 set up a website、 and establish a consortium so that we can share and provide the information.
  • Create the environment to promote cooperative research、 including personnel training、 in the area with little information、 especially in developing countries.
  • Evaluate the risk of business activities in the Asia-Pacific region and seek to develop new business opportunities to provide information on the risk of catastrophic natural disasters.

Contribution to the society

    Grasping disaster risk in advance enables us to reduce the damage from large-scale disasters、 which are expected to cause worldwide impact on the economy. By improving the database for hazard risk information、 we can assist Japanese enterprises abroad in formulating their BCP、 various private businesses concerning risk reduction and nonlife insurance.
