12 Japan s tallest and longest tsunami wall "Great Wall of China 10m high and 2433m long
13 The village of Taro built Japan's largest tsunami wall, which stands 10 meters high. It's not financially viable to build even higher walls Instead of focusing on building better physical defenses, the residents of these communities have to prepare themselves mentally to respond to such disasters. The more the government focused on building tsunami walls, setting up early warning systems and the like, the less aware residents were of the dangers of their situation. It was quite a paradox.
14 Mitigation and Preparedness No Damage Some Damage Severe Damage Size of Destructive Power Source) DRS, DPRI Kyoto University Set the limitation by mitigation Acceptable Risk Limitation of disaster prevention Frequency
15 2011 Thailand Flood damage The floods claimed the lives of some 800 people Upwards of 2.8 million homes sustained various levels of flood inundation and vast expanses of farmland flooded Economic damage was estimated at more than 200 billion baht ($40 billion). More than 14,800 industrial and manufacturing plants were damaged by floods in 20 separate provinces. Approximately 25% of the world's supply of components for computer hard drives was directly impacted by the floods.
16 Physical Vulnerability Physical Vulnerability: Bangkok is low elevation above sea level and prone to flooding. Long-term inundation causes discontinuation of economic activities and impacts the lives of the people. Our society needs to develop disaster reduction strategy to reduce the risk of long-term inundation through mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Source) Kyodo News/AP
17 What do we have to protect from disaster? 1. Save human lives 2. Protect assets and property 3. Swiftly restore business and production 4. Restore livelihood of those affected
18 Why couldn t we stop this death? (1) Save human lives Disaster reduction is a practical discipline that is all about saving lives. By listening to the voices of the dead we can work out how to save other lives the next time Aug-11 Sep-11 Oct-11 Nov-11 Dec-11 Figure 1.

If Thai government cannot conduct adequate mitigation and preparedness in the near future, it is difficult to boost investor confidence. Source ) Kyodo News/AP

24 Source) Cabinet Office, Government of Japan, 2005, Business Continuity Guidelines What is Business Continuity Management? Early resume operation Minimize the damage
25 Characteristics of Good Practice in Business Continuity A plan is developed in anticipation of great damage that might have significant adverse effects on business. It is recognized that the resources to be used after a disaster are limited, and efforts should to concentrate on critical operations. Important factors (bottlenecks) are identified that are essential for the continuity of critical operations, and which would take time and labor for re-procurement and recovery, and might prevent recovery, and are dealt with selectively. A target recovery time is set for critical operations and advanced preparations are made for its achievement through a coordinated approach.

26 Social Vulnerability Social Vulnerability: Why didn t they evacuate earlier?? No adequate information? No where to evacuate? No understanding of danger?
27 The step of Evacuation (4) Restore livelihood of those affected The step of evacuation :It will take at least 1hour 1. Understanding the situation 2. Decide to evacuate and prepare (pack up one's stuff and wait for families) 3. Evacuate People have to make decision to evacuate early enough to keep them safe. For this decision making, local government has to disseminate information and issue an evacuation order.
28 What kind of information dose government has to disseminate and how? (4) Restore livelihood of those affected (4) When does people have to evacuate safely and to where? (People have to know where to evacuate BEFORE flooding) Not only telling them You have to evacuate! but also provide them scientific information on hazard and expected damage It is important to make them understand why they have to evacuate. Wrong response Hold back information Not do anything until the last minute by fear of missed swing Even if it was missed swing, you can explain why the government decided to issue an evacuation order
29 Understanding the hazard and evacuation Hazard Mapping Local government distribute map indicating flood hazard and where to evacuate to all households.
30 Disaster Reduction Mapping understanding vulnerability and response
31 Disaster Reduction Education is important No miracle that 99.8% of the schoolkids survived( ) Prof. Toshitaka Katada has been working with teachers to provide disaster education for 8 years If you reach the kids they tend to pass on what they have learned to their parents and the community at large. 1. Disaster Reduction Mapping Where and How to evacuate safely, understand hazard 2. Training for evacuation You have to assess the situation for yourself and act accordingly. 3. Disaster Reduction Class in school
32 Evacuation and Sheltering (4) Restore livelihood of those affected It is important to protect peoples' lives and assist their temporary shelter stay to keep them safe for short period. Local government has to prepare flood evacuation and sheltering plan, and also, citizens have to learn how they should evacuate before the flood safely through disaster reduction education program. One pre-designated shelter in one community in walking distance

35 Shelter management (4) Restore livelihood of those affected Who is responsible for shelter management in JAPAN? Local government, facility manager (school teachers), community leaders, non-government sector, volunteers etc. Each roles are discussed in local government level and indicated in Local Disaster Reduction Plan It is important to involve evacuees to manage the shelter stay such as distributing foods, supplies and cleaning the shelter, especially when length of stay get longer in terms of independency and shortage of managers
