The 61st NSRI Forum
Let’s Talk Frankly About the Next Earthquake

Speaker: Nobuo Fukawa (Director and Professor, Center for Collaborative Research on Disaster Mitigation, Nagoya University)
Facilitator: Mikiko Kado (Chief Engineer, Structural Design Group, Nikken Sekkei Engineering Department)

南海トラフの巨大地震は今世紀半ばまでにその襲来が大いに懸念されており、その間にも度重なる地震が日本各地で発生し、阪神淡路大震災以降、被害地震が続発しています。2011年に発生した東日本大震災における東京都内の震度は5程度でしたが、その直後は大きな混乱を来すなど、大都市の脆弱性も露見しました。今回のフォーラムでは、防災研究の最先端研究者として、「防災･減災」のために尽力されている福和伸夫先生をお招きします。産官学における「防災･減災」に対する取り組みについてお話をお伺いし、私たちが直面している状況を理解するとともに、それぞれの立場で、何が足りないのか、どうするべきかを皆さんと一緒に考えたいと思います。「防災･減災」の第一歩は私たち一人一人の心構えであるのです。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　（加登美喜子）
