The objective of our laboratory is to establish a new discipline called “Environmental Emergency Management” as a system of technologies for designing and managing cities that enable reduce the human health risk and disaster risk. Major research topics of our laboratory are disaster prevention & preparedness in water system, disaster debris management.
