ABSTRACT

This paper aimed to make proposals for disaster prevention and reduction measures based on the experiences and lessons gained through the Kumamoto earthquake. This paper firstly introduced disaster countermeasures of affected local governments within Kumamoto Prefecture. Next, by narrowing the focus on measures concerning the intangible side of things, this paper discussed three points including (1) issues concerning the assumption of disaster countermeasures; (2) issues concerning the BCP (Business Continuity Plan) of both government and private corporations, the DCP (District Continuity Plan) concerning local communities, the CCP (Community Continuity Plan) concerning local communities, and (3) issues concerning disaster countermeasures besides the two issues mentioned above. Based on the discussion results, it was pointed out that the disaster countermeasures assuming complex continuous disasters should be considered.
