◆Academicsocieties relevant to naturalhazards anddisaster reduction gatheredand established JapanAcademic Network forDisaster Reduction.

◆When large disaster occurs, this networkworks as emergency contactnetworkbetween academies, governmentand society.

◆This network aims for promoting interdisciplinary cooperation for disasterreduction anddisaster restoration.

Seismic activity of the Japanese archipelago is activated, Nankai Trough and Tokyo MetropolitanInland Earthquakes are feared. In global climate change, there is a tendency that disasters occurmoreseverely and morefrequently in the world.

The Kumamoto earthquake happened on 14 and 16April 2016. SCJ and JANET-DR worked well forpromoting interdisciplinary collaboration and socialimplementationof research.

Torrents of rainfall and flooding battered awidespread area in western Japan in early July2018 called “The Heavy RainEvent of July 2018”.The rainfall reached 1025 mm in 48 hours at onelocation and exceeded over 300 mm at manylocations. More than 230 people caught in floodand landslide died or missed.JANET-DR had a quick meeting for researchers onJuly 16 and announced “messages for people andsociety for caring against heavy rains” with CouncilMembers of Science Council of Japanon July22.

For prevention andmitigation of disasters,manyresearch fields are involved, such as earthobservation, meteorology, earthquake, tsunami,oceanography, engineering, history, disasterprevention planning and emergency medicalcare. In academic world, specialization has beenprogressed and integration has beenweakened.For protecting people’s lives and the land fromnatural disasters, we need comprehensiveplatform beyond the boundaries. This networkaims to deepen mutual understanding acrossdifferent expertise.

Interdisciplinarycooperationamongacademicsocieties

[History of establishment, RelationshipwithScience Council of Japan(SCJ)]Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in March 11, 2011. The earthquake was exceeded ourexpectations and our science and engineering were not enough. After the Earthquake, themembersof Science Council of Japan became founders and 24 academic societies (later 30) relevant to disastermanagement gathered and established “Academic Society Liaison Association Corresponding to theGreat East JapanEarthquake “ inMay2011.On July 2015, Science Council of Japan established new committee for promoting interdisciplinarycooperationof disaster reductionanddisaster restorationand strengthened tohelpour activities.As the successor of this association, we established “Japan Academic Network for DisasterReduction” on January 9th, 2016. This network targets not only earthquake disasters but also naturaldisasters in general.Science Council of Japan and Japan Academic Network for Disaster Reduction will collaborate acrossacademies topromotemultidisciplinary research for disaster reduction in theworld.
