Navigating Disasters
Major earthquakes frequently cause unexpected damage over wide and distant areas. For example, in the 2025 Myanmar earthquake, a high-rise collapsed in Thailand, far from the epicenter. Disasters also take a toll on the health of survivors, with deaths continuing to occur at evacuation shelters. What is going on? Experts in Japan have closely examined such unforeseen consequences and worked to implement countermeasures each time. In this program we share our experiences and disaster prevention knowledge with earthquake-prone regions in Asia and around the world.
