A number of natural disasters-related laws and estimations were revised after 3.11. Local governments in Japan are responsible to develop corresponding plans and estimations.

3.11 left an important lesson for those who plan and execute disaster management: public works alone are not enough to control chaotic situations in and after a disaster; smooth evacuation, timely rescue, and orderly management of temporary refuge require independent decision making of individuals and prompt cooperation of local communities. SHINYEI-OYO supports local governments in both developing and executing communities’ disaster management plans with rich experiences in the field. We support your developing a master plan, preparing hazard maps and emergency manuals to embody it, and coordinate risk communication with local people to materialize it.

We can organize workshops to share understanding in disaster management with local people too.
