Geographic challenges for Japan
• Japan is located along the Pacific “Ring of fire,” an area of high seismic and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand in the South Pacific up through Japan.
• Japan is very seismically active with over 1,500 earthquakes 1,500 earthquakes per year. In 1923 the Great Kanto Earthquake killed more than 143,000 people in the Tokyo area.
• The powerful earthquake in march 2011 that unleashed a devastating tsunami moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet (2.4 meters) and shifted the Earth on its axis by 4 inches.

Disaster management• Dealing with and avoiding both natural and man made
disasters. Disaster management involves preparedness before disaster, rebuilding and supporting society after natural disasters such as, earthquakes, drought, tsunami etc.
• Pre- Earthquake Security measures:• Governments and Municipalities also have their own Disaster Management
Councils and formulate and promote disaster management local plans.
• Many local governments provide free seismic evaluation to the citizens
• Subsidy for retrofit of old wooden houses

The period from August 30th to September 5th is declared as “Disaster Management Week” and a variety of events such as the Disaster Management Fair, Disaster Management Seminar and Disaster Management Poster Contest are held to increase disaster management consciousness and disseminating disaster management knowledge
Various events are held to promote volunteer activities and local disaster management activities based on neighborhood associations on “Disaster Management and Volunteer Day” on January 17th and during Disaster Management Volunteer Week (January15th – 21st) to commemorate the Great Hanshin- Awaji Earthquake Disaster on January 17th in 1995
collaborations with other organizations such as schools, hospitals and private companies are important

Post Disaster Actions
• The purpose of this inspection is to quickly inspect and judge the risk of collapse of
• damaged buildings or falling of building components due to after shocks and to inform the habitants about the safety of their houses as soon as possible to prevent secondary disaster due to aftershocks

process to establish a quick risk inspection headquarter in a local government after the event of earthquake takes place. work is done by a team of two inspectors. The direction from headquarter is transferred through a coordinator to group leaders and inspectors.

• Promotion of seismic retrofit by local government
The most effective way to reduce human casualty in case of earthquake disaster is to retrofit vulnerable buildings to prevent building collapse.
Most of the local governments in Japan prepare the service of free building seismic evaluation of the wooden houses to promote seismic retrofit.
This evaluation work is done by "Wooden House Seismic Evaluators" certified by the Mayor and the evaluators check the seismic resistance of the citizen’s houses and give advices for retrofit.
Citizens who want seismic retrofit of their houses can apply to the local government a financial grant or a loan with no interest to cover part of the retrofit cost.

• Since many people have been killed under the concrete block fences fell down by the earthquakes, the Shizuoka Prefecture provides a subsidy to replace or improve concrete block fences

It is important that the Central Government, the local governments, the designated public corporations and even private citizens must work out their roles appropriately to minimize damages due to these calamities.
