The establishment goal of the Disaster Research Center is to conduct research for the creation of a sustainable and safe society and to share the knowledge and technology acquired in the process. The disaster research center has identified "integration," "innovation," "industry-research nexus," and "international" as core values and is making efforts to achieve the objectives. Specifically, the Disaster Research Center is engaged in research and development related to various disasters that can occur in social infrastructure facilities, contributing to the protection of society and the environment, and the maintenance of safety. The key research and activities encompass:
- Monitoring and Prediction of Disasters in Social Infrastructure: Utilizing sensor networks and remote sensing technology, DRC analyzes big data obtained and create predictive models based on it to prepare for potential disasters.
- Disaster Management and Response Strategy Development: In the event of disasters, DRC develops effective response plans and strategies, conduct scenario analysis, and simulations to minimize the scale of damage.
- Sustainability Research in the Era of Climate Change: The era of climate change has introduced uncertainty regarding the safety of existing social infrastructure. DRC conducts research not only for sustainable social infrastructure but also for sustainable ecosystems.
- Education and Information Sharing: DRC disseminates research findings, relevant information, and data through educational programs and international networks.
