AboutAbout the lab
Putting people and society at the center of disaster prevention
The Integrated Disaster Prevention Information Systems Lab studies how to design and implement comprehensive policies to reduce disaster risk.
Drawing on informatics, planning, management, and economics, the lab clarifies how disasters relate to the workings of society and the economy.
It also explores disaster prevention planning in which residents participate, and methods of communication for sharing disaster risk.
The lab is Prof. Tatano's lab at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, and it accepts fourth-year undergraduates of the Undergraduate School of Global Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and graduate students of the Department of Social Informatics in the Graduate School of Informatics.

*Illustrative imageMeasuring the impact of disasters on the economy
The lab develops methodologies for evaluating the short-term and long-term impacts of disasters on society and the economy. These support evidence-based decision-making for disaster risk reduction and contribute to comprehensive disaster risk management.
*Illustrative imageDisaster risk communication with residents
The lab develops participatory disaster prevention tools for making action plans together with communities, and frameworks for community-led disaster risk management. It also investigates how households perceive risk when deciding how to prepare for disasters.
*Illustrative imageAdaptation strategies for climate change
The lab conducts research to evaluate and strengthen the resilience of communities and infrastructure under climate change. It develops adaptation measures that can be adjusted as future disasters and society change, and also works on predicting extreme values of weather-related disasters.
