JCC-DRR

While Japan is known to be one of the world's most prepared countries to respond to natural disasters, the disaster in 2011 has left many 'unprecedented' events which we all can learn from. One such examples was the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which still leaks radiation to its surroundings. Therefore, in line with the engagement of customary disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs, JCC-DRR and its partners have been focusing on advocacy and preparedness work to improve the nations' resilience to nuclear disaster. As there is a risk that a similar event will happen in the future somewhere in the world, JCC-DRR also focuses on the mainstreaming of nuclear risk in DRR in the regional and global level... Monitoring of the SFDRR: JCCDRR becomes the focal network on monitoring of implementation of the SFDRR, and constructive discussion platform is created with Japanese government (Cabinet office) on SFDRR implementation in Japan.
