Abstract
Social infrastructure and public
utilities are critical for quick and effective disaster
response and recovery. Japan's rigorous seismic
reinforcement of infrastructure has greatly reduced the
effort required to restore essential facilities.
Identification of priority infrastructure, legislation of
financial arrangements for rehabilitation, and establishment
of pre-disaster plans alongside the private sector have
enabled prompt emergency response operations and facilitated
a quick rehabilitation. This report gives findings; lessons;
and recommendations for developing countries.
