SummaryJapan and many countries all over the world are expected to construct disaster-resilient societies in various
levels such as individuals and autonomous communities after the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11,
2011. Research areas in social science, humanities and natural science to realize the resilience with the use ofhigh technology, implying that we robustly and lithely face a variety of natural disasters, have recently beenhighly developed. In this context, we will organize an industry-academia-government-citizen collaborative
workshop to enjoy the fruits of research for disaster prevention and mitigation with a view to the actualizationof resilient societies and make a suggestion for the future, in conjunction with the Third UN World Conference
on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015, which will be held in Sendai on 14-18th March. Also, we also provide somedemos such as Tsunami Simulation and RoboCup Rescue to complement oral presentations.
