It’s a place to prepare for megadisaster through human capacity development of disaster
related personnel and collaboration with local community. It
exhibits various kinds of disaster preparedness on a daily
basis. The building is equippedwith emergency power generators, solar power and emergency storage.

We are trying to mitigate possible disaster risks bystrengthening preparedness.
The Disaster Mitigation Research Building is a place
where researchers studying earthquakes and disasters gathered. The center itself is a place to experiment and develop earthquake resistant building technologies. In daily life, the center provides advanced
research and education, but once disaster occurs it
becomes a disaster response focal point of Nagoya
University and the region.

8 The most advanced researchtechnology on disaster mitigation

Disaster mitigation research results and technologies on crustal movement, active faults, soil and liquefaction are exhibited.
The artifacts of historical liquefaction are demonstrated.

Let s observe a real base isolation
structure system.
Isolation Structure Gallery
The Disaster Mitigation Research Building isconstructed with the latest isolation technologies to preserve its safety as it becomes a centerfor disaster response in case of disaster.
The gallery demonstrates the isolation structure.
Also visitors can learn about isolation structure
systems, vibration control systems and earthquake resistant construction structures.
