JICA Projects for Earthquake Disaster JICA Projects for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Developing CountriesMitigation in Developing Countries

► Objective to develop human resources and physical basis in

each countries to contribute to mitigate disasters through

elaboration of seismic codes or other ways to empower the CP organization to be a

national/regional center of earthquake disasters mitigation activities

► Scope of Activities instrumentation of seismometers and strong motion structural testing dissemination of information through trainings,

seminars, and others► Programs offered by Japanese Government

dispatch of Japanese experts training of CP personnel in Japan donation of facilities and equipments for monitoring,

testing, R&D, dissemination & others
