Our work in disaster preparedness-related training, activities around Oita and multilingual information.
Information on disaster preparedness.
Japan is prone to various natural disasters – it is therefore essential that you make yourself prepared.
The Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) has compiled a collection of necessary information in case of disasters. The collection is a summary on practical information that can be used in the likelihood or occurence of a disaster.
