- Abstract:
- :After the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11,2011,it appeared that Japan was extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and was lacked of adequate social systems for mitigating natural disasters.This paper describes the author's views on what we have learned from recent natural disasters,including the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995,the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011,the Kanto-Tohoku Flooding in 2015 and the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016.The paper then points out the need for socialization of disaster-related knowledge,followed by a need for the development of safety index systems for natural disasters for policy makers and decision makers to prioritize mitigation measures to be implemented.The paper also adds the author's view on what current civil engineering profession lacks for mitigating natural disasters.
