Digital Agency Seeks Research on European Approaches to Domestic Disaster Risk Reduction
Tokyo, Japan – August 6, 2025 – The Digital Agency of Japan has announced a public call for research proposals to investigate the approaches taken by major European countries in their domestic Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) efforts. This initiative, published on August 6, 2025, at 06:00 JST, underscores the Digital Agency’s commitment to learning from international best practices to enhance Japan’s own resilience against natural disasters.
The research aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of how leading European nations are leveraging digital technologies and innovative strategies to mitigate disaster risks, respond effectively to emergencies, and promote recovery. Specific areas of interest are likely to include the use of data analytics, artificial intelligence, early warning systems, digital infrastructure resilience, public awareness campaigns, and community engagement platforms in the context of DRR.
Japan, a nation frequently facing natural calamities such as earthquakes, typhoons, and heavy rainfall, places a high priority on strengthening its disaster preparedness and response capabilities. By examining the experiences and successes of European countries, the Digital Agency seeks to identify valuable insights and potential models that can be adapted and implemented within the Japanese context. This cross-national learning process is crucial for fostering a more robust and technologically advanced DRR framework.
The public call invites research institutions, universities, and other qualified organizations to submit proposals detailing their research methodologies, expected outcomes, and contributions to the field. The Digital Agency anticipates that the findings from this research will provide actionable recommendations for policy development and the strategic implementation of digital solutions in Japan’s national DRR strategies.
This forward-thinking initiative reflects the Digital Agency’s proactive approach to safeguarding the nation and its citizens by embracing global knowledge and technological advancements.
