[1] Reports on Tohoku and Niigata Study Trip
(1) Mr. Jonatan ARREOLA MANZANO (Mexico, Seismology Course)
The human
beings or technology cannot avoid the occurrence of natural
hazards
(earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, typhoon, landslides, floods,
droughts,
among others), the occurrence of these is a sign that Earth is
a living and
dynamic planet.

(2)Mr. Leonardo Alberto ALVARADO GARCIA
(Ecuador,Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Course)
Before coming to Japan,
I had only seen tsunami videos and read stories on
the internet, and had no
way to imagine what it feels like to go through such
a hard experience.
After this study trip, I feel more compassionate towards
those who died and
lost their loved ones in the past.
