Yokohama Disaster Risk Prevention Training
Presentation by Ramesh Jaura, DG & Editor-in-Chief of INPS in Yokohama, on 27 November 2019.
‘Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change: Turning Ambitious Goals into Action’ was the theme of the presentation by Ramesh Jaura, Director-General & Editor-in-Chief of INPS – with flagship agency IDN – at the Soka Gakkai Kanagawa Peace Center in Yokohama, a Japanese city south of Tokyo, on 27 November 2019.
He spoke to about 100 youth who have been engaged in voluntary relief activities for people adversely affected by the disaster wrecked by the October 2019 Typhoon Hagibis – a large and powerful tropical cyclone considered to be the most devastating typhoon to hit the Kantō region of the country since Ida in 1958.
He highlighted Japan’s crucial role in reducing the risk of disasters worldwide. Japan has hosted three World Conferences on Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change.
The first such Conference was held in 1994 in Yokohama, the second in 2005 in Kobe and the third in 2015 in Sendai. In doing so, Japan has contributed significantly to realising the Sustainable Development Goals endorsed by the international community in September 2015.
Earthquake Preparedness in Japan Japanology
Changing of the seasons is a great time to update our family’s earthquake preparation bags. The kids have all grown, so clothes need to be switched out, and expiration dates on food checked. As a mom of four kids and long-time Tokyo resident I often think about earthquakes, and “what if”. We cannot predict earthquakes, but we can reduce the stress by being prepared.
Below is my top ten list for earthquake preparation. If you have children who are still growing quickly, remember to repack your earthquake kit twice a year to assure for seasonality and body growth. Complete the steps below today! I also highly recommend to visit the Ikebukuro Life Safety Learning Center to learn how to be more prepare for a natural disaster, as well as, experience a simulated earthquake.
#1. Write down mobile numbers, emails and address for you, your husband, and key friends and family and share the list (and location of the paper list) with your kids.
#2. Discuss with your family about a safe meeting place outside to gather if your house or apartments not safe. Ideally a local park with a large open area. “Let’s meet at this location XX.” Visit the location so there is no misunderstanding. Also agree on what time you will meet in case of being separated “let’s meet at 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and leave a note”.
#3. Register with your country’s embassy your contact info, and your family members names and ages. Embassies need this information to assist you in the case of natural disaster. Prepare a folder with copies of your passports, alien registrations and also some extra cash in case you need to leave the house quickly. Keep these items with your earthquake preparation packs.
#4. Install the Yurekuru appearthquake preparation, bestlivingjapan.com on your iPhone or mobile device. This app will notify you a few seconds before an earthquake happens. You can set the sensitivity, so you are not getting alerted at 3-4 magnitude range, but rather 5+. Also, they have a Twitter account in Japanese but you can understand even if you don’t read all the kanji.
#5. Bookmark the English JMA (Japan Meteorological Site) so you can access right after an earthquake to get details on location, magnitude, and if there is a tsunami threat.
#6. Program into your radio or write down the English-speaking radio broadcasts that include Inter FM (76.1FM Tokyo, 76.5FM Yokohama), Eagle (810AM) and the bilingual format of NHK (693AM).
#7. Learn about the Disaster Emergency Message Dial (171) which is a message board for communication when a disaster. By entering your landline phone number as a pin code, you can leave a message on the system where other family members who share the same landline number can listen to your message and record theirs as well. Unfortunately, the system is only in Japanese but you can review this link for a helpful animation explaining how the system works. You can access the 171 system on the first and 15th of each month to practice. Set a date with your family and practice as soon as you can!
#8. Prepare your house for a shake. Get on your hands and knees and look around your rooms. What would hurt you or someone else in your house if it fell? What is not secured against the walls well? Fix it today or remove it completely. Most injuries in earthquakes are caused by falling everyday items.
#9. Pack an earthquake evacuation kit. We have three backpacks in our front closet for a family of six, and one dog that is ready to go when we need to leave quickly. Amazon.co.jp has an entire area for earthquake kits and preparation. The bare essentials are as follow.
#10. Don’t worry, just be prepared.

Visiting Fukuoka ♪: A tour of the Fukuoka disaster prevention center
As most of you with an interest in Japan know, the country has forever been shaken by earthquakes and other natural disasters. From the youngest age, Japanese children learn the right behavior and the safety measures. For us foreigners though, it might not be common knowledge.
Follow me through this tour to know a little bit more about how the city of Fukuoka teaches everyone how to behave in case of a natural disaster.
Great experience at Fukuoka City Disaster Prevention Center

A True SaaS Disaster Recovery Experience
The thing with traditional Disaster Recovery solutions today is that there are a collection of software and services and hardware from multiple vendors. And that's not such a bad thing. Except for the fact that you don't have the ability to do an end-to-end, closed loop verification of your DR plan. But what if you could?

The highly successful First International Conference on Sustainable Development through Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII) held January 20-21, 2016 defined and promulgated the value proposition for each of the five elements of Quality Infrastructure Investment including: Economic Efficiency; Safety; Environmental & Social Sustainability; Economic & Social Contribution; and Resilience against Natural Disaster. Building on the emergent knowledge of implementing QII projects, the 2nd QII Conference aims to share practical QII knowledge and implementation experience through sessions on the Japan’s, the MDBs’ and ODA agencies’ QII initiatives over the past year. A primary objective of the conference will be to share knowledge on advancing QII from concept to implementation at scale, including sessions on: financing mechanisms, procurement frameworks, urban resilience, urban development, social inclusion and overcoming inherent inter-jurisdictional challenges with many infrastructure projects. Furthermore, this conference seeks to facilitate dialogue and collaboration on QII initiatives among development partners such as Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) as well as their clients which are implementing infrastructure projects.
Tokyo Development Learning Center (TDLC) is a partnership project of Japan and the World Bank launched in June 2004. Our mission is to link developing and middle income countries with Japanese knowledge, expertise and technologies.
