Integrated disaster risk management strategy to prevent exposure to hazardous substances due to inundation triggered releases : a concept for Japan

概要

An integrated approach to prevent inundation-triggered releases of hazardous chemicals from facilities is introduced. The concept integrates data from the recently available Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR) in Japan, inundation scenarios and agricultural land use into an information scheme within a real-time disaster response strategy. It is shown how recent available mobile communication systems using a newly developed system for dissemination of maps and disaster relevant information can be used within this strategy to prevent or mitigate consequences of released hazardous substances. The approach distinguishes three steps : risk assessment, disaster response and disaster mitigation. The introduced concept is exemplarily discussed using an inundation scenario occurred during the 2000 Tookai flood in Nagoya, where 16 facilities dealing with hazardous substances were inundated. Consequences for planning and policies, based on the introduced concept are discussed.
