- The 3rd UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction:
- The Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) will be held to consider and adopt the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction from 14 to 18 March 2015 in Sendai City, Japan. The G-EVER Consortium and the Geological Survey of Japan are going to organize the “2015 International Workshop on Earthquake and Volcanic Hazards and Risks in Asia-Pacific Region” in Sendai Japan during the 3rd UN World Conference on Disaster Reduction as one of the major public forum.
- Purpose:
- Asia-Pacific Region is an area with high risk of catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In today's highly globalized economy, disaster occurrence can create unpredictable turmoil worldwide, not just in the directly affected area. Countermeasures against these large-scale disasters are crucial for the sustainable development of the global economy to ensure human security. Thus it is imperative to establish an effective international framework where we collaborate and develop an efficient system of gathering information on disaster mitigation in the Asia-Pacific Region. Enhancing the exchange and sharing of various information on seismic and volcanic eruptions, and the formulation of international standards for database, data exchange and disaster risk assessment are essential for future hazards mitigation. The International Workshop on Earthquake and Volcanic Hazards and Risks in Asia-Pacific Region aims (1) to provide venue for the presentation of current research works on earthquake and volcanic hazard mitigation in the region, and (2) to provide a forum for an extensive exchange of ideas in the development of international standards on data compilation, hazard and risk assessment.
