Every year, natural disasters such as earthquakes, storms and floods occur all over the world, and many lives and property are lost. We have to reduce the risk by comprehensive approaches concerning various stakeholders. Therefore, DMTC has been developing a capacity-building program that can play an active role in various sectors by conducting cross-sectional and systematic research and learning as a new educational service based on disaster management research. By promoting the accumulation of knowledge and promotion of research on disaster management, with "research" and "education" as the two wheels, we will contribute to the disaster risk reduction by various stakeholders, such as governments, private companies, local residents, and NPOs. DMTC will also operate in cooperation with the Center for Integrated Disaster Information Research (CIDIR), the Graduate School of Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies.
