Disaster Prevention Research Institute

Introduction to the Disaster Prevention Research Institute

The Disaster Prevention Research Institute is an organization that conducts research and development specialized in safety and disaster management, focusing on developing solutions to prepare for and deal with various disaster situations using the latest technologies and advanced methods.

Mission and goal

The core mission of NIST is to improve people’s safety and disaster management. To this end, we aim to contribute to securing lasting safety by developing effective prevention, preparedness, and response strategies based on modern science and technology.

Vision and values

We aim to grow into a world-class disaster prevention research institute with advanced technology and sustainable safety solutions. We are also committed to human-centered values, fulfilling our social responsibility and contributing to research and innovation for a sustainable future.

Key Research Areas

Wind power

Small wind turbines are emerging as an essential technology for disaster prevention.

In the event of a disaster, small wind turbines can generate power effectively in low wind speeds to ensure emergency power supply.

Shelters and emergency medical facilities need reliable power, and a small wind turbine can provide it to maintain basic infrastructure in disaster situations.

Communication networks and information systems are key elements in disaster management, and small wind turbines provide fast, reliable power to support efficient communication and rescue efforts.

In addition, their role as a sustainable energy source enhances energy sustainability in disaster management, as they can provide reliable power with less strain on the environment.
Overall, research on small wind turbines is facilitating the development of technologies that are essential for safe and effective response in disaster situations.

Sound Barriers

Soundproofing panels are essential for providing a safe
and quiet environment by effectively blocking noise in a variety of environments.

Noise from roadsides, etc. can cause mental stress to people. Soundproofing panels minimize this noise, providing people with a stable psychological environment.

Effective communication in emergency situations is crucial to saving lives. By reducing noise in emergency services and healthcare facilities, acoustic panels help medical personnel and rescuers communicate effectively. This enables faster first aid and relief efforts in emergency situations, helping to save lives.

Soundproofing panels can reduce noise in factories, construction sites, and more. A noise-free environment helps stabilize the living environment by minimizing fatigue and stress for workers and nearby residents.

Overall, soundproofing panels are important devices that support people’s mental stability and effective communication in various noise situations,
and help improve people’s quality of life by creating a safe and quiet environment.

Environment

Research related to the environment is becoming more important in the field of disaster prevention.

For example, the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters due to climate change is causing various environmental problems. In recent years, extreme weather events have caused a large amount of rain to fall in a short period of time, resulting in a number of accidents such as blocked drains and flooded roads. In addition, household food waste discharged into sewers can cause clogging and pollution of the sewer system, increasing the risk of environmental and water pollution.

As such, environmental research is essential to developing effective strategies in disaster prevention and response.
