27 Point Disaster Measures Basic Law Basic, most important and comprehensive disaster mitigation-related law in Japan Established as a comprehensive disaster mitigation and relief law through the experience of Isewan-Typhoon in 1961 All the disaster mitigation measures are taken within this framework. Five Purposes 1. Stipulation of responsibilities demarcation among relevant organizations 2. Promotion of effective administrative system in an integrated manner 3. Promotion of planned framework in disaster mitigation and relief administration 4. Financial assistance to seriously affected area 5. Measures on urgent relief to disaster victims
28 Concluding Remarks Key Points for Disaster Prevention Natural disaster should be dealt with global-local local linkage and in a comprehensive manner Most effective and essential countermeasures against natural disasters are to reduce the source of disaster, namely the amount of CO 2. Sustainable and safe water supply can be realized when they are fully supported by structural and non-structural disaster prevention measures. More professional service by the consulting engineers should be introduced for the disaster prevention measures, and more collaboration should be made among the concerned agencies or organizations such central government, local governments, communities, financing agencies, NGOs and volunteers. (It can be said that various disaster prevention works be linked in a comprehensive manner.)
