Human Capacity Building

Cooperation with Municipalities, Businesses, and Research Institutions

Agreements have been made for mutual support between the City of Sendai and other municipalities that provide against the occurrence of large-scale disasters since before the Great East Japan Earthquake, and mutual assistance has been provided such as by dispatching personnel and providing supplies. The City also has agreements with other entities such as private companies for public relation activities and providing supplies such as food, and other emergency measures. The City also cooperates with research institutes on joint research projects that contribute to disaster risk reduction.
At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, Sendai received a variety of support from across Japan owing to the various agreements above.
Based on the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the City has built a solid and cooperative support system through collaboration with various stakeholders and has been promoting measures to help stranded commuters and advance the use of private facilities for tsunami evacuation.
