The 22nd National Institute of Land Culture Open Seminar

On October 29, 2025, the National Institute of Land Culture, affiliated with the Construction Technology Institute, will host the 22nd Open Seminar titled "Logistics Disruption: Can You Survive?" This seminar is particularly relevant given the increasing frequency of natural disasters across Japan in recent years.

The Importance of Logistics during Emergencies

Natural disasters can create a significant impact on logistics, and if supply chains are disrupted during such events, essential resources like food and water may not reach evacuation shelters. This seminar aims to examine real-life case studies from previous disasters, focusing on the mechanisms and challenges involved in supplying emergency relief materials. It serves as an important platform for discussing the roles various stakeholders play in ensuring that communities are adequately prepared for such crises.

What to Expect at the Seminar

Participants will delve into the following key areas during the seminar:

• - Role of Local Governments: Understanding the responsibilities local officials have during times of disaster.
• - Citizen Preparedness: Discussing practical steps that individuals can take to prepare for emergencies.
• - Community Collaboration: The vital importance of cooperation among local entities to enhance communal resilience.

This seminar provides a valuable opportunity to raise awareness on disaster preparedness and to foster a culture of safety and readiness within communities.
