SAKIGAKE JAPAN at World Bosai Forum 2025

In March 2025, SAKIGAKE JAPAN, a disaster prevention specialist company based in Chuo, Tokyo, showcased its initiatives at the World Bosai Forum 2025 held in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. The company collaborated with the Disaster Management Training Center Support Association (DMTC-SA) to promote the significance of developing disaster management personnel, specifically focusing on the 'Disaster Management Specialist' system.

The forum attracted over 5,000 participants from both domestic and international backgrounds, highlighting the growing need for disaster management specialists who serve as key players in bridging field responses with societal implementation. The training and establishment of disaster management systems is considered vital for sustainable regional and corporate disaster preparedness.

What is a Disaster Management Specialist?

The Disaster Management Specialist is an individual trained to make accurate decisions and take effective actions during initial response situations to disasters. Acting as a preparedness leader during normal times, these specialists include public officers, corporate safety managers, and educators. Since the program's launch in 2024, hundreds of certifications have already been issued across Japan, demonstrating the growing recognition of this role and its underlying curriculum.

You can find more information about the program on the official website: DMTC-SA Homepage.

One of the distinguishing features of this program is its practical approach to education, which encompasses not only knowledge acquisition but also realistic training scenarios. Participants engage in role-playing and case studies covering scenarios that focus on judgment, information gathering, and team collaboration, particularly emphasizing the critical first 72 hours following a disaster. This makes it especially relevant to business continuity planning (BCP).

Collaborative Exhibition Goals

Through the cooperative exhibition with DMTC-SA, SAKIGAKE JAPAN aimed to present both the philosophy and educational curriculum of the Disaster Management Specialist system. They also provided specific examples of how participants have utilized their training and potential collaboration models with local governments and private companies.

Looking ahead, SAKIGAKE JAPAN plans to continue its efforts in supporting the implementation of this specialized training across local municipalities and through joint training initiatives with private sector entities.

This practical approach aims to embed disaster management into the very fabric of society, moving away from reliance on experienced individuals. Many forum attendees resonated with the idea that fostering skilled personnel is key to effective disaster response.

Growing Recognition and Future Expectations

During the exhibition, several attendees expressed familiarity with SAKIGAKE JAPAN and the Disaster Management Specialist initiatives, which served as a significant encouragement for the company. Notably, inquiries and collaboration proposals from corporate safety and disaster management representatives, as well as educators, indicate a rising acknowledgment of the necessity for disaster management training in real-world settings.
