SUPPORT AT DISASTER

Disaster Relief and Investigation

To protect the residents of Japan, we at CERI are developing disaster prevention technologies. We have conducted detailed field surveys at sites damaged by earthquakes, typhoons or heavy rains. Based on these investigations, we research potential measures for emergencies and disaster prevention/recovery, in cooperation with the relevant authorities.
