Following its devastating experience
with recent disasters, Japan has been strengthening or
drawing up new disaster management plans at the national and
local levels. The Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE)
revealed a number of weaknesses in planning for complex and
extraordinary disasters. Central and local governments have
been revising their plans to reflect what they learned from
the GEJE. Japan's disaster management system addresses
all phases of disaster prevention, mitigation and
preparedness, and emergency response, as well as recovery
and rehabilitation. It specifies the roles and
responsibilities of national and local governments, and
enlists the cooperation of relevant stakeholders in both the
public and private sectors. Following the GEJE, assessments
have been made of the capacity of existing disaster risk
management (DRM) planning systems to prepare for and react
to large-scale disasters. This report gives findings;
lessons; and recommendations for developing countries.
Revisions have been proposed, based on the lessons learned
on March 11. |
