  • Japan has undergone many great tsunami disasters, and the scars left by tsunamis can be
    found everywhere in the land and culture of the country like fingerprints and genes. The
    measures that Japan has been taking to mitigate tsunami-induced damage are recognized as
    being advanced in the international community.
    There were many people, however, who were not fully aware of the horror of tsunami
    because a great tsunami is a once-in-several generations occurrence.
    Vivid photographs and video footages of the recent Indian Ocean tsunami have taught us
    how dreadful and disastrous a tsunami could be. A number of important pieces of knowledge
    have been gained and some important lessons have also been learned.
    In view of lessons learned from the tsunami disaster, therefore, we have re-examined a
    wide range of tsunami disaster mitigation measures that Japan has been taking.
    In order to ensure safety from tsunami, it is necessary to take comprehensive measures over
    a large area, knowing how disastrous a tsunami can be and identifying vulnerable places and
    safety measures that can be taken. It is also important to regard tsunami protection efforts as a
    continuous process beginning with prevention efforts and ending with restoration and
    rehabilitation and use a strategic combination of structural measures and nonstructural
    measures.
    The basic policy for the coming years, therefore, is to try to implement an effective
    combination of structural measures and nonstructural measures before and after tsunami,
    instead of relying solely on structural measures to prevent disasters, in order to minimize
    tsunami-induced damage.

    So in accordance with these incidents in japan that cause a great harm to the lives of many people, we have organized an event to make people aware about the following aspects :

    1. TSUNAMI PROTECTION MEASURES IN JAPAN: CURRENT STATE AND
    PROBLEMS
    Current state and problems of warning and information provision
    Current state and problems of preventive measures
    Current state and problems of preventive measures
    Current state and problems of accumulation and dissemination of tsunami protection
    technology and knowledge.

    2. BASIC POLICY FOR TSUNAMI PROTECTION MEASURES IN THE COMING
    YEARS.

    3. SPECIFIC URGENT GOALS AND DAMAGE MITIGATION MEASURES.

    4. MEDIUM TO LONG RANGE GOALS AND TSUNAMI PROTECTION
    MEASURES
