Abstract

We first explain the natural disaster environment such as earthquakes and floods and slope failures due to heavy rain in Yamaguchi prefecture in this paper. Then we introduce the preparedness of Yamaguchi University (YU) against these natural disasters, for example, setting up the earthquake observation system, Multi Channel Access (MCA) system as a robust information system and risk management such as Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and so forth. Finally, we introduce the unique research activities regarding to disaster mitigation in YU, i.e., application of satellite remote sensing technology to natural disasters. Analyses to the 2014 Hiroshima slope failure disaster and the 2015 Kinu river flood disaster are explained.
