II. Executive Summary
| Project Purposes | The project will develop a comprehensive compound disaster risk assessment methodology together with counterpart researchers, propose risk reduction measures, and promote investment in disaster risk reduction by national and local governments as well as the private sector through communication efforts. In the long run, the developed methodology will contribute to the disaster risk reduction of international ports in Japan and around the world. |
|---|---|
| Activity Description | When international port cities are hit by earthquakes and tsunamis, in addition to direct damage, there are compounding effects such as tsunami fires, hazardous material spills, and economic stagnation from the disruption to logistics networks. In this research project, earthquake scenarios are developed based on seafloor, land-based, and geodetic observations, and compound disaster risks are evaluated based on earthquake and tsunami simulations. Infrastructural countermeasures, risk management and evacuation strategies are then proposed with the aim of implementing these in society through communication with relevant organizations and residents. |
