About this page

This page presents information on timelines for disaster prevention by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. A timeline is a disaster prevention action plan where relevant organizations coordinate and establish what, when, and who will take action based on anticipated disaster scenarios. As rainfall patterns become increasingly localized and severe, combining infrastructure development with soft countermeasures is essential. Learning from Hurricane Sandy in the US, Japan began examining timeline frameworks in 2014. Using zero-hour and lead-time concepts, timelines enable coordinated disaster response among national and local governments, businesses, and residents.
