As climate change goes on, severe natural hazards will occur more frequently and the road networks will experience disastrous situations on a fairly regular basis. Developing a reliable information collection and sharing system is the first step of proactive disaster management. This is where the International Workshop on Road Disaster Management comes in.

The topic will be approached from a local point of view, applied to the case of Japan, to a more international framework according to countries that have acquired disaster expertise through their experiences.

With an approximate duration of 7 hours, the workshop will be held in English with simultaneous interpretation into  Japanese.
