Cooperation to overcome the future great earthquakes ─ Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake─
At 11:58 a.m. on September 1st, 1923, the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred. One hundred years have passed since then. Infrastructures have evolved significantly, and people’s everyday lives have become more prosperous and diverse. We, civil engineers, have been advancing technology day by day to minimize the damage while responding to these changes. We have faced natural disasters for decades and centuries, accumulated wisdom, and worked with many engineers to support the land of Japan. If we can strengthen this cooperation even further, we will surely be able to overcome the great earthquakes to come. All featured articles talk about the importance of linking information and people. Through these articles, we think about how and with whom we can collaborate and face our mission even more proactively.
