Earthquakes

Earthquakes are natural disasters that have a devastating impact on human lives and property. Thirty years have passed since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995. The immense damage made people keenly aware of the importance of disaster prevention and the fragility of society. Based on the lessons learned, there has been significant progress in earthquake research and disaster prevention measures, such as retrofitting buildings to make them more earthquake-resistant and developing evacuation plans. Drawing on the experience of that time, we will introduce the latest research from the University of Hyogo to protect lives, livelihoods, and the future.
