The lab studies disaster mitigation to prepare for flood and storm surge damage.
AboutAbout the lab
Disaster mitigation measures against floods and storm surges
The Tashiro Lab specializes in river engineering and applied ecological engineering, and studies disaster mitigation measures against flood and sediment disasters as well as river and watershed environments.
The lab belongs to an industry-academia joint research division on lifeline disaster prevention at the Disaster Mitigation Research Center.
It works on flood analysis that takes into account buildings, roads, and even underground sewer facilities, and on crisis management planning to prepare for giant typhoons.
Aiming for a safe and secure society that coexists with nature, the lab also works on building community-level disaster mitigation systems in cooperation with industry, government, and the public.
Key terms
- Applied ecological engineering
- The discipline of understanding the living things and ecosystem mechanisms of rivers and similar environments, and building and managing rivers while protecting them.
- Lifelines
- Supply systems essential for supporting everyday life, such as water, electricity, and gas.
- Inland flooding
- Flooding in which sewers and drainage channels cannot carry away rainwater during heavy rain, causing water to overflow within a city. It is distinguished from river flooding, in which a river overflows.
- Business continuity plan
- A plan prepared in advance so that important operations are not stopped, or can be resumed quickly, when a disaster or similar event occurs. Also called a BCP.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the processes by which flood and sediment disasters occur and the disaster mitigation measures that prepare for them. It works on predicting flood damage in cities and on crisis management to prepare for giant typhoons.
*Illustrative imagePredicting Flood Damage in Cities
The lab analyzes inland flooding, in which rainwater that sewers cannot carry away overflows, and river flooding, in which embankments fail and river water flows into the city, taking into account terrain, buildings, roads, and sewer facilities, and predicts damage during torrential rain. The results support the development of a variety of business continuity plans.
*Illustrative imageCrisis Management to Prepare for Giant Typhoons
Drawing on the damage caused by the 1959 Ise Bay Typhoon, the lab considers how to prepare for giant typhoons. It adopts a "timeline" that lays out in chronological order who will do what and when, and creates action plans in which the people involved work together before and after a typhoon strikes, with the aim of reducing damage.
