Seismic Disaster Prevention Research Group

Seismic risk and strategies for damage reduction: the safety of our cities and towns

Research purposes
Expansion of the disaster prevention capabilities of todayfs ever more advanced and complex cities is essential for the realization of safety and security in our lives. To ascertain the behavior of an entire city during an earthquake precisely and effectively, reliable information as to gwhat could happen during a disasterh and gwhat to do to forestall ith must be provided. The Seismic Disaster Prevention Research Group is developing the technologies that will enable the performance of a wide range of simulations, from a single house to an entire city, and visual demonstration of the results, and intends to make proposals for policies that mandate the elimination of existing low earthquake- resistant structures and for frameworks for system design, promotion of understanding and decision-making in terms of making earthquakeresistant retrofitting and purchasing earthquake insurance, quantification of the social and economic damage from seismic disasters, and disaster prevention education developed through science and technology for society.
