This Event Will Be Held in Japanese

In Japan, where earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters are part of everyday risk, resilience is not just a public safety issue - it's a business imperative.


On 1 June 2024, the Japanese government launched the Disaster Prevention Agency Establishment Preparation Office within the Cabinet Secretariat. Led by Minister Akimasa Akazawa (Minister of Economy, Finance and Revitalisation), this initiative aims to formally establish the new Disaster Prevention Agency by fiscal year 2026. Future plans include potentially elevating the agency to full Ministry of Disaster Prevention status.


This timely BCCJ event will bring together corporate leaders, disaster preparedness experts, and community organisers to explore how businesses and individuals can better prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies.

Designed with foreign businesses and expatriate professionals in mind, the session will offer practical insights into building robust business continuity plans, protecting your workforce, and ensuring operational stability in times of crisis. Whether you're developing your first emergency response strategy or reviewing existing measures, join us to gain vital, actionable knowledge from those with on-the-ground experience.
