It has been 8 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred and fading memories over time is a deep concern. It has been said that damage might be reduced if the lessons of past disasters are passed down.

We have launched “the Disaster Memorial Network Council” through the collaboration of industry, academia, government and citizen sectors, and have started activities for handing down the lessons of the earthquake across the sectors in the Tohoku Region. We are setting up the project of the 3.11 DENSHO ROAD to transmit the lessons by connecting memorial facilities in the four disaster affected prefectures. This project includes making maps utilizing a standard set of pictogram and building its website, both will be multilingual, to guide memorial facilities on-site.

In our session, we will introduce the 3.11 DENSHO ROAD, which aims to enhance disaster management capacities in Japan and overseas by passing on the lessons, and also to cheer up the affected area by increasing the flow of people.
