3. Full description of project:

 

NDYS was organized in Hyogo on May 2004 and started from September 2004, commemorating 10th anniversary of great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, Japan.

Natural Disasters occurs anywhere and anytime on this planet. We learned the importance of human lives and the Mitigation of Disasters. This is what we have learned through NDYS 2005 to 2007.

We have different information to reduce the impact of same kind of disaster. Share your information in the world. 

Our ultimate goal is to enhance awareness of natural disasters to families, schools and local communities around the world and build the safer place to live in for everyone in this planet.

It will take many years to build disaster resilient society.  So, start your continuous efforts from now until you grow up, then transfer your efforts to your next generation. With more communication, lives can be saved.  

To achieve this goal, we plan two programs.
