Keynote 1: Prof. Fumihiko Imamura.

Topic : “10 Years of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in COVID-19 pandemic:
cultural, information, disaster, and social issues”

Mr. Fumihiko Imamura expert on tsunami modeling for warning, mitigation planning, and
education/awareness. He has conducted several field surveys as a leader for earthquake and
tsunami damage investigation since 1992 in Nicaragua and Indonesia. And he is a secretary,
international TIME-project (Tsunami Inundation Modelling Exchange) supported by IOC and
IUGG Tsunami comission. He is a member of the Science Council of Japan, a Science member
of the Central Disaster Management Council In Japan, and president of the Japan Society for
Natural Disaster Science in 2008-2011. After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, he was a member of
a study group of the reconstruction design council in response to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
The committee for technical investigation on Countermeasures for Earthquake and tsunami was
also a member. He is also a member of the reconstruction design council in Miyagi. He is the
secretary of the International TIME Project (Tsunami Inundation Modeling Exchange) supported
by the IOC and the IUGG Tsunami Committee.

• A new way of countermeasures for all hazards:Sharing experiences and enhancement the
resilience system
• Transforming Risk into Expertise:
Main Messages from the lesson from the 2011.
So the first one is information/knowledge save live and the second one is resilience system save
community, and now name of the regions it very common to :
• Resilience is the ability to anticipate, respond and adapt to unexpected disruptions
• A need to strengthen disaster preparedness for response, take action in anticipation
events, and ensure capacities are in place for affective in response and recovery at all levels
• The recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction phase is a critical opportunity to Built
Back Better

So unfortunately increasing 21st century intensifying natural disasters giant earthquake and
tsunami; 2004 Indian ocean tsunami and the 2011 East Japan Earthquake/tsunami
So this is this right :
post-earthquake response of Tohoku university and establishment of IRIDeS aiming to build a
resilience society

the Pacific Ocean at a different location and the causing the air company but by the fact that it's
not the right kind of gay High activity and we shall see every fifty years we have kind of a high
activity this is the Indian Ocean tsunami caused by the Shorty the next year so you can see my
location to the other side so different types are we have differences you can see did you find it by
the ocean and Sammy jump force you to go to the east past 250 million in Japan is it Monday
Tuesday Morning in Japan

After the disaster, a new institute emerged at Tohoku University, namely the Institute for
Disaster Reconstruction and Regeneration Research which has 8 projects and irides itself has 7
divisions and 36 fields and this is a new institute in a disaster stricken area. where each division
has a different focus depending on the disaster and how to manage it. where they have a mission
to establish “practical” disaster management studies and they also explain how to reduce disaster
risk based on their research.

irides also conducts research on activities related to the covid-19 pandemic. In

completing the research, the team from irides collected some data related to disaster problems
and also related to the problem of covid 19 or simply called natural problems and social
problems. and they also put forward new ideas for current pandemics in terms of existing
pandemics. After doing this research they also formulate the curve of improvement/recovery of
the current situation.

part 3: transfer the experience and lesson learned from 2011 and others on the network

Here is an explanation about an organization called 3.11 Densho Road. where this
organization is engaged in recovery after the great earthquake that occurred in Japan in 2011

CONCLUSIONS FROM KEYNOTE SPEAKER 1:

- we cant do more than prepare

- pre-disaster prevention (approach) can certainly reduce the damage, but it cannot be
reduced

to zero

- appropriate information/knowledge save lives

- judgement and response are required under uncertain circumstances. for this, it is
necessary

to build a resilient society (resilience)

- resilience is the ability to anticipate, respond to adapt to unexpected disruptions (ISO

22316) and any kind or risk including the covid-19

Keynote Speaker 2: Governance, technology and citizen behavior in pandemic: Lessons

from COVID-19-Prof. Rajib Shaw (Professor at the Graduate School of Media and
Governance, Keio University, Japan)
 In 2015 we managed to solve many problems. and then in 2020 we also face more or
even bigger problems, namely the pandemic. Global frameworks focus on local implementation.
The Sendai framework has a strong focus on health issues. Emphasis more on extreme events
and complex emergencies. Pandemic is not a health only issue, has a strong socio-economic,
environmental and development consequence and environmental risks are interconnected to
financial and other risks. Infectious disease and technological risks are increasing Livelihood
crisis is becoming a new risk. In 2019-2020 we always talk about health problems where we
never suspected that these health problems would greatly affect our daily activities like in 2020
and 2021.
 the vaccine part, they start the vaccine at a bit late compared to other countries. but it is
related to a government program in which this system is very useful and works well for japan.
and This is something we have to learn.

In 2020 there have been many natural disasters that have occurred, and this disaster has
created many challenges for us in adapting and overcoming these problems. where in this case,
the government must be able to adapt in solving existing problems. so that even if there are new
problems, the government can easily solve them. and the way to realize a government that is able
to adapt in solving problems is to become a responsible citizen. where the basics in being a
responsible citizen is to avoid 3C (closed spaces, crowded spaces, and close-contact-settings).
And this is the main key in overcoming the pandemic in Japan.

and last year a research was conducted on risk assessment of communication and
government based on age, behavior, social policy, and exposure. and in dealing with covid-19
there is also research where there are 6 main keys to citizen behavior, namely government
response, culture, health care system, sanitation, food habits, and immune system. Japan has also
made several innovations during the pandemic where these innovations are related to technology,
entrepreneurship, and also in education issues (incubator approach).
