Advantages

We promote the creation and expansion of resilience-related industries in order to enhance disaster management, resilience, and climate change adaptation in a future society facing with economic growth and changes in social structure and values. In addition, we propose a desirable social or industrial institution where preparation for disasters is highly evaluated as a measure to increase organizational values in both normal times and times of disaster. Through these contributions, we promote proactive disaster management while achieving economic growth in ordinary times and reducing damages in times of disasters by reforming the conventional forms of self, mutual and public assistance and establishing new forms of public-private partnerships and pursuing more prompt recovery and reconstruction.
