PREPAREDNESS MANUAL How to Provide Support to International Students When a Disaster Occurs
HAZARD PREPAREDNESS MANUAL How to provide support to international students when a disaster occurs The Japan Association of Private Universities and Colleges International Cooperation Committee Making systematic preparations based on experience The Great East Japan Earthquake and the ensuing nuclear accident in Fukushima in March 2011 caused damage on an unprecedented scale, and taught us many lessons about disaster preparedness. Many universities in areas affected by the catastrophe were used as evacuation shelters, and their major contributions to the region by serving as bases for disaster relief volunteers and as hubs in the region’s reconstruction and restoration are still fresh in the memory. Many private universities and colleges in the Tokyo metropolitan area also played their part by serving as temporary shelters for people who were unable to return home because transport networks were badly affected by the disaster. Unfortunately, earthquakes and typhoons are an inescapable part of life in Japan. This is precisely why it is essential to know how best to respond when a disaster strikes. Experts have predicted that devastating earthquakes could strike directly under Tokyo, in the Tokai region in central Japan, and in the Nankai Trough south of Honshu. By acknowledging that these events could happen at any time, we can use lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake to effectively prepare for a disaster. This was why, on March 28, 2014, the International Cooperation Committee of the Japan Association of Private Universities and Colleges published a hazard preparedness manual for university staff in charge of international students. We encourage the association’s member universities to use the information contained in this manual as a set of guidelines for their disaster response preparations. -
