About this page

This page announces a collaboration agreement on snow countermeasures signed on December 20, 2023, between Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention. Heavy snowfall areas covering approximately 50% of Japan face challenges including traffic disruption, snow-related casualties, and accidents during snow removal. The agreement aims to promote snow mitigation through five cooperation areas: advancing snow management research, sharing data and information, providing technical support to municipalities, public awareness campaigns, and promoting digitalization. These efforts will enhance safety and quality of life in snow-affected regions.
