JPI Seminar on Disaster Prevention Agency Establishment

On March 30, 2026, from 13:30 to 15:30, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar focusing on discussions surrounding the establishment of a Disaster Prevention Agency. The seminar will highlight practical models of public-private collaboration in disaster management.

Participants will examine case studies, including responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Noto Peninsula earthquake, which showcase the importance of digital utilization in preparing for potential catastrophes.
