Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project, DEKATSU Activity
Abstract
It is very likely that we will have a major earthquake, like M7 or larger, in Tokyo metropolitan area, and once the major earthquake occurs, it will bring a serious disaster because of an extraordinary exposure there; 30M population. In order to reduce the loss by the earthquake disaster, it is necessary to improve the disaster resilience of society . For this purpose, "Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project" started in April 2017, integrated multi-disciplinary research of Social Sciences, Seismology, Earthquake engineering. Furthermore, to improve the disaster management capability, we have organized a data utilization consortium among four sectors nationwide in Japan; industry, government, NPO/NGOs, and academia. Those four are intended to work together to contribute to improve resilience capability, currently mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. What we organized is named DEKATSU in Japanese whose direct translation is "Data use and application council for Resilience." There are 57 members including 45 private companies, 3 municipalities, 9 NPO/NGOs (as of July 31, 2019). National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), Japan, is a core institute of the project. Six thematic panels are also established, in DEKATSU. "Academics" will provide research results that can be utilized to solve problems of companies and organizations in the field of disaster/disaster prevention measures. A high-spatial-resolution strong ground motion distribution, e.g., is provided to estimate possible damage for quick countermeasures. "Industries" provides information and data that can contribute to problem solving. "Government" provides a place and information for solving the problem. "NPO/NGOs" will provide information on the needs of the area. Improve regional and organization strengths and create solutions that will ensure reliable business continuity even in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, we aim to contribute to the realization of resilient society by utilizing digital big data.
