Be an organization that plays a role to support self-help and mutual assistance in the communities.

We researchers analyze a certain event based on various sources of data, being required to obtain pragmatic research outcomes. However, there is not always an opportunity to provide these outcomes to society. Under such circumstances, NOA-DRR aims to be a bridge between experts in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience (DR3) and local communities. It is not possible to enhance the DR3 capabilities of a region overnight. Nonetheless, by making use of knowledge about DR3 which has been cultivated in Japan for many years, I would like to nurture it with the community parties into an organization that plays a fundamental role in supporting activities being practiced at the household and community levels.

Create a society where each person lives with peace of mind by thinking positively and taking the best possible actions.

Many people may feel that DR3 activities are something special, like looking at hazard maps and participating in emergency drills. In fact, by getting to know the city through regular walks and pondering at the various activities taking place, associating them together with intuitive knowledge from previous school subjects, a person can prepare for disasters never experienced before. It is important to remember that the culture and customs that remain in each region talk about the wisdom in how to deal with natural disasters. Even so, the exact same disaster will never happen twice and we will not be suffering from the exact same damage. However, it is possible to mitigate the damage caused by a disaster when understanding and thinking about the voices of people who have experienced similar disasters in the environment around you. It is important that each of us thinks and acts willingly to prepare for disasters. Our lives are changing rapidly, but I hope that more people will understand their region, cultivate disaster awareness, and take the best possible action for specific situations by adapting to those changes so that we can live safer and more comfortably from disasters.

Encourage as many people as possible to take action.

With our management philosophy of a "continued and united happy family," we are developing corporate activities to support comfortable and united families in daily life and to reassure them with reliable living spaces that protect a safe environment for unity in the event of disasters. Natural disasters do not occur only when we are in a safe place, and their consequences are not always within the assumed limits of expectation. As I continued to think "I want to protect as many people as possible," I came up with the keyword "education." Together with the representative expert teachers in Japan who have been conducting research in each field, with deepening my own learning, I will contribute to the improvement of DR3 capabilities from within society.

Fighting an all-out war in the midst of becoming poor.

Considering the current financial situation and the declining birthrate and aging population in our country, it can be said that future efforts toward catastrophic disasters will be a "fight an all-out war in the midst of becoming poor." Moreover, since it is critically difficult to recover and reconstruct the affected areas due to future disasters by post-disaster actions, it is essential to take risk mitigation measures that make effective use of the time until a disaster occurrence. In addition, in "self-help / mutual assistance / public assistance," the point is to secure and continue "self-help" and "mutual assistance" to supplement the "public assistance," which will decrease more and more in the future. It is required to shift “from cost to value” and further to "phase-free" paradigm. I hope that NOA-DRR can act as an organization that plays a role in achieving these goals.

Connected with local communities and citizens, act to reduce damage.

After the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, we faced a stagnation in social DR3 investment. At the citizen-family level, even if one understands the importance of preparedness for future earthquakes as knowledge (DR3 investment), the reality is that it does not lead to actual actions. For this reason, civic education is important for us to take DR3 as our own. We have been strongly aware of the importance of linking simulated experiences with DR3 actions, and have been practicing enlightenment education activities for citizens. Through the activities of this organization, we hope researchers to be connected with local communities and citizens, and engage in activities to reduce damage.

Learn together and keep repeating small actions.

One day, I was invited to participate in a storyteller's study session after the 2011 Great Japan Earthquake by my friend Mr. Akihiko Yano (Vice Chair of NOA-DRR). Mr. Yano asked the storyteller a question, "What would you do if you could go back before the earthquake disaster?", the storyteller said after thinking a little while, "I want to encourage as many people as possible around me to learn (know) more about DR3 through disaster emergency drills, etc." I was strongly impressed by the answer, and from that day on, I began to learn about DR3 little by little. There is a lot of information "the scales fall from my eyes" to me in the content taught by NOA-DRR expert teachers. I will continue my learning with my fellow members.

In DR3, I believe that it is absolutely essential to disseminate information based on the accurate knowledge of experts. In this organization, I would like to contribute to DR3 activities in local communities while balancing the accurate knowledge of many experts with the realization ability and speed of industry (company) members.
