Chapter 1 describes the present state of the DRM system in Japan from a holistic viewpoint, with case studies of three major disasters that have influenced the process by which legal and institutional frameworks for the country’s disaster management have been amended: the Isewan Typhoon in 1959, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (Kobe Earthquake) in 1995, and the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (GEJET) in 2011.
