Local operations are critical to reducing disaster risk. With this understanding, Japan has developed various strategies, policies, and instruments for disaster management operations. One of the recent examples, after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, is the System on Community Disaster Management Plan (Chiku Bosai Keikaku Seido) approved for implementation in 2014. It urges local communities to make their bosai plan to prepare their actions during the time of disasters. Meanwhile, the 2015 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction internationally shares the goal of reducing risk and adapting climate change by increasing the number of nations taking actions towards disaster risk reduction. Sharing a standardized operation on bosai operations for the interested states are an important step forward.

This session shares the concept of Chisan Chibo – local production for local protection – by sharing ideas on the followings:
What does it mean to have an international standard on local-bosai operations? In which way could the standard benefit disaster reduction? What are the possible approaches and tools and how could it stimulate industry? What is the value of standardizing this concept from Sendai/Tohoku?
