We have been conducting the IISEE training course “Strengthening Seismic Disaster Risk Reduction Countermeasures for Critical Buildings” since last year. The Course is intended to improve earthquake disaster countermeasures for critical buildings (government buildings, hospitals, fire departments, police departments, etc.) that serve as bases during disasters, so that emergency response and administrative services are not disrupted when disasters occur.
