Amid growing concerns about the Nankai Trough giant earthquake and the earthquake directly beneath the capital, it is essential to raise public awareness of disaster prevention in addition to both hard and soft measures taken by the national and local governments in order to enhance disaster prevention capabilities.
For this reason, the Cabinet Office, the Disaster Prevention Promotion Council, and the Disaster Prevention Promotion National Assembly have formed an executive committee to plan the 1st Disaster Prevention Promotion National Assembly so that the people can enjoy learning through various experiments and experiences.
