Preparing for Emergencies and Disasters Information on Everyday Living for Foreign Residents of Shinjuku City 1 Preparing for Emergencies and Disasters Preparing for Emergencies, Accidents, Injuries, Illness- es and Disasters We never know when an emergency will occur. Let’s be prepared so that we can take proper action without panicking if we should become the victim of a crime, if a major disaster, accident or fire occurs, or if there is a sudden illness. In addition, it is essential to understand at least a minimal amount of emergency vocabulary in Japanese so that you can communicate in an emergency situation. Japan has frequent natural disasters. Some knowledge about safety and disaster prevention can keep damage and loss to a minimum. To live with peace of mind in Shinjuku City, please keep this book in a handy spot so that you can use it when you need it. ● Emergency Telephone Numbers ............................................................................... 2 This booklet is divided into 8 parts ● Crime and Traffic Accidents ..................................................................................... 3 1.

  • The Triple Catastrophe: Japan's 03/11/11 Earthquake, Tsunami, And
    The Triple Catastrophe: Japan’s 03/11/11 Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Crisis Just after 2:45 p.m. on Friday, March 11, 2011, inhabitants of northeastern Honshu – Japan’s largest island and home to Tokyo, the country’s densely populated capital – felt the ground shake violently beneath them. Although the Japanese were accustomed to powerful tremors, this one (soon termed the Great East Japan Earthquake) struck with frightening intensity. 1 With a magnitude of 9.0, it was Japan’s largest earthquake in the modern era and the world’s fourth largest since 1900.2 Due in large part to mitigation and preparedness measures put in place after the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji 3 Earthquake, which caused significant damage in and around the city of Kobe, initial casualties and physical 4 damage were relatively low. But, having occurred along the ocean floor at the intersection of the Pacific and 1 Located along the “Ring of Fire” – the seismically volatile coastal perimeter of the Pacific Ocean – Japan experiences approximately 20% of the world’s earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.0 and above (Jeff Kingston, Natural Disaster and Nuclear Crisis in Japan: Response and Recovery after Japan’s 3/11, Routledge, New York, 2012; and U.S. Geological Survey [USGS], Earthquake Glossary – Ring of Fire, date unknown, available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/glossary/?termID=150 [accessed March 14, 2013]). 2 USGS, Magnitude 9.0 – Near the East Coast of Honshu, Japan, date unknown, available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2011/usc0001xgp/ [accessed October 2, 2013]; and USGS, USGS Updates Magnitude of Japan’s 2011 Tohoku Earthquake to 9.0, March 14, 2011, available at http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2727 [accessed March 14, 2013].

  • 2008/1-3 Vol.1
    2008/1-3 vol.1 Three months have passed since I was assigned to be the Director General of JICA Tokyo. These three months are the busiest season of the year and I have tried to work hard in co operation with the staff members of this center to make your stay in Japan fruitful. Until last October we had been publishing "JICA Tokyo Monthly" to ensure your conven ience with a variety of information concerning Japan and JICA. However from this year we revised it from a monthly to a quarterly in order to focus more closely on participants' needs. And this January issue is the first one in the new style. There may be a lot of things you would like to know while you are staying in Japan. Perhaps you wonder what other participants are learning. How can newly arrived par ticipants make friends? How can you enjoy JICA Tokyo life to the full? How do other people get over their homesickness? Then we want to make the Quarterly a tool to answer those questions and others by sharing your expe riences and information and to be a forum to communicate with others as well. As for the event information, which had been given in the former Monthly, we have made it a flyer and we issue it twice a month. You can get further support service at the Information Desk and Communication Plaza just as you used to. I hope you enjoy JICA Tokyo Quarterly. It is our great pleasure if these pages are helpful to make your stay in Japan more comfortable and meaningful.

  • Access Time of Emergency Vehicles Under the Condition of Street Blockages After a Large Earthquake
    ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume IV-4/W1, 2016 1st International Conference on Smart Data and Smart Cities, 30th UDMS, 7–9 September 2016, Split, Croatia ACCESS TIME OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES UNDER THE CONDITION OF STREET BLOCKAGES AFTER A LARGE EARTHQUAKE N. Hirokawa a*, T. Osaragi b a Dept. of Mechanical and Environmental Informatics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, - [email protected] b School of Environment and Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Earthquake, Street Blockages, Agent-based Simulation, Emergency Vehicle, Accessibility, Information Collection ABSTRACT: The previous studies have been carried out on accessibility in daily life. However it is an important issue to improve the accessibility of emergency vehicles after a large earthquake. In this paper, we analyzed the accessibility of firefighters by using a microscopic simulation model immediately after a large earthquake. More specifically, we constructed the simulation model, which describes the property damage, such as collapsed buildings, street blockages, outbreaks of fires, and fire spreading, and the movement of firefighters from fire stations to the locations of fires in a large-scale earthquake. Using this model, we analyzed the influence of the street-blockage on the access time of firefighters. In case streets are blocked according to property damage simulation, the result showed the average access time is more than 10 minutes in the outskirts of the 23 wards of Tokyo, and there are some firefighters arrive over 20 minutes at most. Additionally, we focused on the alternative routes and proposed that volunteers collect information on street blockages to improve the accessibility of firefighters.

The opening exhibition, “wall to wall Noriyuki Haraguchi”, will display works by Noriyuki Haraguchi, a leading figure in contemporary art.

It was in this occasion where Haraguchi presented the iconic Oil Pool, which significantly impacted the international art scene. Haraguchi has since participated in numerous exhibitions and projects worldwide, and his works have been collected by highly regarded institutions, such as the Tate Modern and MoMA. For the past fifty years, Haraguchi has continued to create three-dimesional works and installations from industrial materials such as iron, oil, honeycomb and polyurethane, and has sustained an essence of sheer substance and “materiality”.
