The Tokyo metropolitan area will likely be hit in the future by a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or larger. Such an earthquake will create a serious disaster due to the extraordinary exposure and a population of more than 35M. To reduce potential losses, it is necessary to improve the disaster resilience of Tokyo, its building stock, economy and society. For this purpose, in April 2017 the “Tokyo Metropolitan Resilience Project” started to integrate multi-disciplinary research of social sciences, seismology, and earthquake engineering. Furthermore, to improve disaster management capabilities, we founded a Data Use and Application Council for Resilience (named DEKATSU) among four Japan-wide sectors; industry, government, NPO/NGOs, and academia. They are intended to collaborate to contribute improved resilience capabilities, currently mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area by following the strategy of holding public symposia, organizing private thematic panels, and implementing data disclosure policies. We develop activities from CSR(Corporate Social Responsibility) to CSV(Creating Shared Value).

DEKATSU has members from 53 private companies, 3 municipalities, 9 NPO/NGOs (as of 11 February, 2020). Eight thematic panels*, consisting of the consortium members with common interests and issues, were established within DEKATSU. "Academics" is providing research results for solving problems of companies and organizations in the field of disaster/disaster prevention techniques and measures. "Industries" is providing information and data. "Government" is providing guidance, regulation, and information. "NPO/NGOs" is providing information about local needs and connecting the consortium to the public.

The National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), Japan, is the core institute of the project. And we aim to gather and consolidate data effective for the overall business continuity and disaster response capabilities of government and private sector, as well as for disaster resilience activities of individuals.
