The Indian Ocean Tsunami on 26th December 2004 caused about 230,000 casualties and enormous
property damage along the Indian Ocean. This giant loss is basically due to the lack of proper
awareness and preparedness for tsunami disasters from national government level to local levellevel.
Japan has a long experience with tsunami disasters. The 1896 Meiji‐Sanriku Tsunami caused about
22,000 casualties, for example. Because of that, Japan has been making major efforts to enhancetsunami disaster prevention

To make good use of such experiences toward tsunami disaster countermeasures in developing
countries, ICHARM launches the "UN/ISDR Tsunami Disaster Prevention Training Course" for section

Comments on this course by participants:
The participants were not only amazed to see gigantic structures but also
overwhelmed by local people’s high awareness toward disaster mitigation.
•Most important was the awareness among the people about the disasters which is something
we can implement in our country through campaigning.
(Mr. LALLOO PRASAD SONKAR, India)•I learned the philosophy behind the great efforts in disaster management in Japan. I think, thestrength in disaster countermeasures in Japan lies on the collaborative efforts shared by boththe formal and informal disaster management organizations/groups.
(Mr. TeukuAlvisyahrin, Indonesia)•The progamme has provided us with an invaluable learning experience on a personal level too.
The dedication and aspirations of individuals and volunteer groups at all levels, and thediscipline of the Japanese people and their resilience to withstand and revive back after
disasters has touched me and given me hope that together we too will be resilient to future
hazards and is able to reduce the impact of tsunamis and other natural hazards.
