The 1st Workshop of Asia-Pacific Region Global Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption Risk Management (G-EVER1)
From : 22.02.2012 Till : 25.02.2012 Location : Tsukuba Central, AIST Tsukuba Headquarters, Tsukuba-Japan
As shown by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, Asia-Pacific Region is an area with high risk of catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Once a disaster occurs, in today's highly globalized economy, it can create unpredictable turmoil all over the world, not just in the affected area. Countermeasures against these large-scale disasters are crucial for the sustainable development of the global economy to ensure human security. Now is the time to establish an effective international framework where we collaborate and develop a system to gather information on disaster mitigation in Asia-Pacific Region, including Japan.
