Risk communication study as follows is conducted for improving awareness of risk and decision support. In order to realize prevention and mitigation of urban disaster, this division conducts studies on development of disaster information monitoring systems for disaster information sharing with the application of the latest engineering and universal disaster information providing systems for handicapped persons. Water related risk communication study, such as the development of advanced monitoring technology for meteorological and hydrological phenomena, development of hydrological forecasting system including short term rainfall and discharge forecast with super computers, development of the methodology for communicating the uncertainty of water related forecast. This division also conducts studies on emerging and reemerging infections, risk communication on these infections, and healthcare of disaster relief workers.
