The Japan Society of Community Disaster Management Plan (SCDMP)

1 Community Disaster Management Plan (CDMP)

In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the limitations of the government’s activities, and the importance of “mutual-help” in collaboration with local municipalities became apparent. Consequently, the Cabinet Office amended the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law in June 2013, and created the “Community Disaster Management Plan” (CDMP), a plan for disaster management activities by businesses and residents of local communities. From the perspective of social capital, disaster management activities based on the CDMP will lead to local community participation in town planning, even during the preliminary reconstruction phase.

2 The Japan Society of Community Disaster Management Plan (SCDMP)

“Community Disaster Management Plan guidelines” were created through the cooperation of specialists including many local residents, business people, academics, and government officials. Experts were considering the establishment of a meeting on CDMP. For the purpose of raising awareness of the CDMP, research of the CDMP, improvement of the local disaster management force, activation of the local community, community development, experts have created “The Japan Society of Community Disaster Management Plan” (SCDMP).
