Disaster Management in Japan |
| Abstract |
Because of geographical, topographical and meteorological
conditions, Japan is subject to frequent disasters such as typhoons,
torrential rains and earthquakes.
The devastating Typhoon Ise-wan is
1959 was a turning point for disaster management, giving rise to a movement
to plan and prepare a comprehensive disaster management system, and in
1961, the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act was enacted. Thereafter,
the disaster management system has been improved and strengthened following
the occurrence of large-scale natural disasters and accidents such as
the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
There is much apprehension and a
sense of urgency regarding the possibility of the occurrence of the Southern
Kanto Earthquake of which the hypocenter is directly under the region,
the Tokai Earthquake and the Tohnankai and Nankai Earthquakes which are
all capable of causing immense damage.
At this booth, you cordially understand
Japanese disaster management system including proofing of buildings,
disaster emergency response system, etc.
In addition panels describing
Japanese International Corporation on disaster reduction will be displayed. |

of Earthquake-resistant School Buildings |
| Abstract |
Because
school buildings fulfill the role of ensuring the safety of shcool
children and are also emergency evacuation areas for the members of
the local community when a disaster occurs, it is important to promote
earthquake-resistant school buildings.�
MEXT, based on the damage caused to school bulidings by large-scale earthquakes
such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, etc., has indicated the technical
points to be aware of when making school bulidings earthquake-resistant,
and has presented the basic approach to promation of making school bulidings
earthquake-resistant and formulation methods for the earthquake-resistance
promotion plan, etc. as the "Guidelines for Promotion of Earthquake-resistance
of School Buildings".� Furthermore, MEXT is implementing a variety
of policies, such as making the expenses involved in anti-earthquake reinforcement
of shcool buildings, etc.� eligible for national subsidies, and earthquake-resistant
school bulidings are being actively promoted. |

'To
protect life from natural disasters and to strengthen society's defenses
against them, NIED (National Research Institute for Earth Science and
Disaster Prevention) conduct research and development of earthquake,
volcanic activity, weather, and landslide disasters. After the Great
Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, NIED has constructed various kinds of seismograph
networks throughout Japan. NIED accurately observe seismic motions
ranging from micro-tremors to large earthquakes using about 1,800 seismic
stations. At NIED display booth, we utilize our results of seismic
observations and active fault survey, and reproduce the ground motion
on the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake by simulation-derived model.
We expect the participants to uplift the awareness on disaster by experiencing
visually how the ground shakes from the angle of aerial and inside
ground. |

| Abstract |
Japan
is located in the Asian monsoon region and the majority of its national
land consists of steep volcanic terrain.� It is therefore exposed to
the hazards of many natural disasters, including earthquakes and typhoons.
�Under this climate, rural people have accumulated experiences in and technologies
for coexisting with nature through the production activities of agriculture,
forestry and fisheries. For example, paddy fields, upland fields and forestlands
reduce flood runoff through their water retention capability. They also play
an important role in preventing soil erosion and the occurrence of landslides
in hilly and mountainous areas for the conservation of national lands. |

Climate
Change and Disaster Prevention Measures |
| Abstract |
It
is scientifically proved that Climate Change has been steadily progressing.
Both developed and developing countries have been and will be affected
by the impacts of Climate Change; some parts of Small Island Developing
States might be covered by the ocean flow and parts of coastline in these
countries might face on erosion; it is concerned that Japan, too, be suffered
from significant impacts caused by adverse effects of natural phenomena
such as extremely stronger typhoons.
In order to address Climate Change, United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change was enacted.�� Each country has been taking
various measures under these agreements and the Government of Japan has
been making every effort to accomplish commitment stipulated in the Protocol.
However, even if ultimate efforts are taken by global society to combat
Climate Change, the impacts caused by Climate Change will not be avoided;
it is thus be of importance to take actions to prevent and minimize those
impacts.
In this context, it will be required to develop and implement comprehensive
disaster prevention measures, taking fully into consideration impacts induced
by Climate Change. |

meridian used as the baselime for Japan Standard Time.It is a city
of the sea,looking out upon the Akashi Strait.If it were up to you
to come up with an urban development plan for this city that would
put to use those characteristics that make Akashi unique,what would
you do? We learned a lot of things after having gone through the great
trial of the 1995 earthquake. How can mankind best interact with nature?
What way of life is the most human? At this time wiht society exploring
new values,we'd like to think over the shape of the city that we should
be seeking in the future.
By such thoughts,the photo exhibition which recorded the damage situation
and revival situation of Akshi City is held. |

left a great number of victims and devastated extensively its beautiful
cityscape.
This exhibit gives a partial view of the 10-year post-quake work of reconstruction
and development. We strongly hope it will contribute to the efforts in
disaster prevention and in the building of towns resilient to natural calamities |

ODA Loan's role in preventing disaster in developing worlds |
| Abstract |
Taking
a look at the global disaster trend, much disaster hit many developing
countries, which have been impeding sustainable development.� Japan
Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) is deeply involved in cooperation
for the developing countries' anti-disaster measures.� For instance,
on the occasion of devastating earthquake of Turkey in 1999, JBIC provided
Yen (ODA) Loan totaling 12 billion yen for the Turkish Government to
improve seismic performance for Large-Scale Bridges in Istanbul.� Together
with the support for the engineering component, JBIC also extended
technical assistance for making the disaster policies more effective
by incorporating state of the arts into the earthquake recovery and
disaster prevention plan in Turkey.� In this exhibition, JBIC presents
the effective role of Yen (ODA) Loan for disaster prevention and recovery
by showing good practice example with picture boards of Yen (ODA) Loan
projects. |

THE
ASEAN COMMUNITIES LIVING WITH DISASTER RISKS
A REGIONAL PUBLIC AWARENESS PHOTO EXHIBITION |
| Abstract |
1.To
think of ASEAN is to think of a region not only most blessed with resources
and cultural, social, and political diversity; but also having high
disaster risks. Such realization has served as one of the founding
principles of ASEAN.
2.ASEAN vision 2020 depicts a peaceful and stable Southeast Asia through
the strengthening of national and regional resilience.
3.ASEAN declared to attain a Sociocultural Community that "shall intensify
cooperation in addressing problems associated with (among others) disaster
management in the region to enable individual members to fully realize
their development potentials and to enhance the mutual ASEAN spirit".
4.ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM) is a regional body mandated
to coordinate all aspects of disaster management through more effective
mutual assistance activities. It consist of disaster management / emergency
response national agencies in 10 ASEAN Member Countries.
5.ACDM adopted ASEAN Regional Programme on Disaster Management (ARPDM)
as its framework for regional cooperation for 2004-2010. The programme
includes priorities on the establishment of a regional framework, capacity
building, information and resources sharing, mobilization of partnership,
and public awareness and advocacy
6.Individually, ASEAN Member Countries have devised their own systems to
cope with disasters and to manage disaster risks as suited to their own
respective characteristics.
7.It has not been easy and perfect, but ACDM is moving with confidence
rapidly towards a more integrated disaster risk management regional system
that is synchronized with other regional and international initiatives
and systems.

European
Communission Actvities in Disaster Reduction |
| Abstract |
In
order to mitigate disaster risks, the European Commission (Directorate
General for humanitarian aid, ECHO) has been active in disaster preparedness
through its DIPECHO programme since 1996. Its approach towards disaster
reduction rests on three pillars: DIPECHO, mainstreaming and advocacy.
1) The DIPECHO ("DIsaster Preparedness ECHO") programme: This
programme was launched in 1996 to help prepare populations in areas at
risk from natural catastrophes and to support practical measures to reduce
such risks. On average, ECHO allocated about �8 million worldwide through
DIPECHO each year. DIPECHO supports training, capacity-building, awareness-raising
and early-warning projects as well the organisation of relief services.
DIEPCHO funds are implemented by aid agencies working in the regions concerned.
2) Mainstreaming disaster preparedness measures into relief operations:
Where appropriate, disaster preparedness measures are integrated into "classical" relief
operations, particularly where DIPECHO is not present. Examples of such
activities include training affected populations in building earthquake
resistant housing after earthquakes (El Salvador and Peru), training in
water quality control after floods (Indonesia), emergency cholera prevention
and treatment (Somalia), food security monitoring and early warning (Ethiopia,
Central America), cholera preparedness (Tanzania). These activities are
undertaken as an integral part of ECHO operations in areas affected by
ongoing humanitarian crises.
3) Advocacy: ECHO has reinforced its efforts to convince development donors
to mainstream disaster preparedness activities in their programmes. As
a first step, cooperation with other Commission Services has been strengthened
for the areas covered by the existing DIPECHO programmes. As a key donor
of external assistance, the European Commission has a vital interest to
prevent disasters from happening or to mitigate their effects. As a consequence,
other Commission Services are increasingly getting involved in disaster
reduction, e.g. in the research sector but also in development cooperation,
environment and external relations. |

Telecommunication Union - Emergency Telecommunication |
| Abstract |
ITU
is a world-wide organization which brings governments and industry
together to coordinate the establishment and operation of global telecommunication
networks and services.- Article 1, Section 2 g of the ITU Constitution
provides that ITU shall �promote the adoption of measures for ensuring
the safety of life through the cooperation of telecommunication services�.
In this regard, from the development sector's point of view, forging
partnerships is of paramount importance in carrying out this mandate.
A partnership has already been forged with Inmarsat Limited, the London-based
satellite consortium, to help promote rural telecommunication and support
emergency communications in least developed countries. Thanks to this
initiative, satellite terminals have already been procured to provide
practical assistance in the event that disaster strikes in any country.
For more information, please go to http://www.itu.int/newsarchive/press_releases/2003/01.html
- Within the framework of ITU-D a handbook on disaster communications
was published in 2001 and it is being revised in the form of a second
edition. Again, we have a cost sharing arrangement with Rohde & Schwarz
that will culminate in a low cost product that will be affordable to
all stakeholders,
�especially those from developing countries. For more information, please go

OCHA
involvement in the Disaster Management Process |
| Abstract |
OCHA�s
principal mission is to mobilize and coordinate the collective efforts
of the international community to meet the needs of those exposed to
suffering and material destruction in disasters and emergencies in
a timely and effective manner. The objective of this exhibition is
to provide an overview of OCHA activities in disaster response: Disaster
Response System: To coordinate the actions of the international community
in response to disasters, OCHA manages a disaster response system,
operational 24h. When OCHA is alerted of the occurrence of a disaster,
its system is triggered. Coordination tools include Situation Reports,
with information on the impact of the disaster, the national response,
the level of international aid required and assistance provided. These
reports are disseminated to donors, UN agencies, IGOs and NGOs, and
published on Reliefweb. Field Coordination: If required, OCHA deploys
a Disaster Assessment and Coordination team to assist the government
of the affected country, UN Representatives and agencies during the
initial emergency phase. It establishes an On-Site Coordination Center
(OSOCC) to support the local authorities in coordinating the activities
of international relief providers. International Appeals: At the request
of the government of an affected country, OCHA launches appeals for
international assistance, urging the international community to provide
support to address immediate relief needs. When necessary, OCHA provides
cash grants and acts as a channel for donor contributions. Activation
of International Emergency Response Networks: Based on stand-by arrangements
within established international networks, OCHA facilitates the mobilization
of relief assets such as expertise, logistics and material resources.
These include SAR (Search and Rescue), military and civil protection
assets. |

warnings save life and property |
| Abstract |
The World Meteorological Organization is the United Nations' system authoritative
scientific voice on weather, climate and water.� This intergovernmental
organization, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, coordinates the
activities of the Meteorological and Hydrological Services of 187 countries
and territories.� Early warnings provided by those Services are key
for the protection of life and property against natural disasters.� Nearly
80 percent of natural disasters, and about 90 percent of the casualities,
are caused by extreme events linked to weather, climate and water.� It
is WMO's ambition to have the number of deaths due to natural disasters
of meteorological, hydrological and climatic origin halved over the
next 15 years.� This objective could be reached through further improvements
in early warnings, disaster preparedness, capacity-building and strengthening
of National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, especially in
developing countries.� The number of lives lost to such disasters was
about 600,000 during the past decade.� WMO originated from the International
Meteorological Organization (IMO), which was founded in 1873.� Establigency
of the United Nation for meteorology (weather and climate), operational
hydrology and related geophysical sciences.� Following a decision taken
by the World Meteorological Congress in 2003 a Natural Disaster Prevention
and Mitigation Programme was established to ensure the integration
of WMO activities in this field, as well as the coordination with related
activities of their internatilonal, regional and national organization. |

Disaster
Preparedness and Risk Reduction Activities of the International Federation
of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies |
| Abstract |
Preparing
for disasters, mitigating their effects as well as responding to their
consequences is first and foremost a task of every government. However,
effective� cooperation is required by a broad range of actors, including
the United Nations and their specialized agencies, civil society and
specialized organizations such as the Red Cross and Crescent National
Societies, if our collective objective of having resilient communities,
well protected and well organized, is to become a reality.�
As auxiliaries to public authorities in the humanitarian field, yet independent,
Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies play a critical role linking
government to civil society, working both with affected communities and
governments on disaster response, but more importantly, on disaster preparedness.
Vulnerability and risk reduction strategies are part of Red Cross Red Crescent
community-based disaster preparedness programs, and we clearly demonstrate
that disaster preparedness and risk reduction pays off.
Disaster risk reduction and the management of disaster response, clearly
stated as one of our four core working areas in the International Federation
of RC & RC Strategy 2010, is also a well-known area of partnership
in the planning and delivery of services involving National Societies and
their Governments.� Some National Societies are represented on their Governments'
Disaster Management Committees and all programs are designed with the partnership
in mind. This is a key element in the International Federation's work,
and Governments have willingly accepted an obligation to consult their
National Societies in the preparation of all aspects of their disaster
management planning, including in the delivery of relief services.
Additionally, the International Disaster Response Law (IDRL) Project of
the International Federation aims to reduce the vulnerability and suffering
of people affected by disasters though the promotion and development of
international disaster response law mechanisms to better facilitate the
provision of expedient and effective international humanitarian assistance.
The importance of disaster preparedness and risk reduction in all its forms
is also reflected in the Agenda for Humanitarian Action of the 28th International
Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent which took place in Geneva
in December� 2003, where together the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement with
the States party to the Geneva Conventions committed to a plan of action
that aims to reduce vulnerability in relation to the risk and impact of
natural disasters and diseases. |

Capacity
building to prevent risks with ONG and local organizations |
| Abstract |
Development
pattern that has been imposed at world wide is generating more and
new risks.� Planning, concertation, agreements among countries and
among development agents in each country, to enlarge population's participation
in decisions that affect their lives, are instruments that should be
used in order to get sustainable development.� At local level, concertated
development planning is key to get reasonability and sustainability
of economic and urban growth processes as well as adecuated localisation
and use of the territory.
In Peru, since Yokohama 1994, several changes have been produced in terms
of prevention and risk reduction:
PREDES is a peruvian NGO working since 1983, working with vulnerable comnunities
and local organisation, promoting that they assume protagonism in prevention
and mitigation, as well as to respond in disasters. We want to share and
to exchange with other similar organisation:
a. Experiences on incorporation of prevention focus in strategic development
plans in national, regional and local levels.
b. Experiences on use of risk analysis in urban plans in small cities of
rural areas.��
c. Experiences on educational and organizational processes to incorporate
prevention, like as new attitudes and new practices, in economic activities,
use of natural resources, in urban and rural poor communities.
d. Experiences on participation of children and young in educational processes
with prevention focus.
e. Experiences on training and organisin volunteers' groups for watch risks,
disseminate information, sensybilizing and promote actions in order to
prevent or mitigate that risks
f. Systematizing of tradicional practices to prevent risks and to face
disasters in rural andean comnunities.
g. Experiences on concertation and coordination processes with local NGO
and humanitarian agencies.
Our focus: To promote that development agents participate more actively
in order to assume it responsibility to do not produce vulnerability and
to reduce existent vulnerability. Important initiatives are proving to
introduce prevention focus and risk analysis us criteria to development
planing. |
