The ADRC receives visitors engaged in various fields, such as disaster risk
management officials, and fire-fighting staffs of local and national governments ordisaster risk reduction experts and students. Many of these visitors are the participants ofJICA training programs on disaster risk management. The contents of the lectures aremainly recent disaster information in the Asian region and the summary of the ADRC. In
addition, the ADRC provides other topics to comply with participants’ requests. Theseprograms present a good opportunity to develop a better understanding of ADRC’sactivities to improve disaster reduction capabilities.
The visitors also offer ADRC an opportunity to get suggestions on project promotion
from experts outside of disaster reduction field.
For instance, one participant mentioned “Town-Watching Program is one of the mosteffective methods to learn DRM on community level. In addition, this method does notcost much. It should be popularized for as many people as possible including officers,
specialists, students and teachers”. The ADRC would like to keep carrying out projects inthe future, taking into consideration their opinions and suggestions.
