Course Description
International organizations are called upon to encourage the national and regional efforts on disaster management. National and local governments have the primary responsibility to reduce disaster risk that comprises an essential part of investment by governments in sustainable development.

The statistics shows that many huge earthquakes and tsunamis occurred in these ten years.
