Tokyo, Nov. 5 (Jiji Press)--The Japanese government held a forum themed on tsunami disaster management in Tokyo on Saturday to mark the first World Tsunami Awareness Day established by the United Nations.
"By assembling (disaster) experiences and knowledge in and outside Japan and disseminating them, we hope that tsunami management measures will develop further across the world," Jun Matsumoto, minister in charge of disaster management, said in an address to the forum.
At the forum, Victor Orellana, deputy director of the Chilean interior ministry's national emergency office, explained disaster management education and tsunami evacuation drills in his country.
Noting that both Chile and Japan frequently experience tsunami, Orellana highlighted the importance for the two countries to work together to promote disaster management activities.
In a keynote speech, Satoshi Fujii, special adviser to Japan's cabinet, stressed that it is important to assume the worst-case scenario and prepare for a disaster.
