Disaster Reduction
Japan's Global Contribution
 |
    
|
Since ancient times, Japan has been condemned by its geography and geology to suffer repeatedly from various types of natural disaster. But those experiences of suffering have been transformed by Japan's people into a source of wisdom, a storehouse of expertise, technology and knowledge about preventing and reducing future natural disasters. This valuable wisdom, developed over many years, has enabled Japan to provide assistance to many countries struck by similar tragic disasters. This program discusses Japan's resolute commitment to international cooperation for disaster reduction, and presents some of the challenges undertaken in the course of those efforts.
