Symposium on “Coping with the Flood Damage of Buildings”Hosted by National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and Building Research Institute (BRI)
?
?
| In recent years, countermeasures against flood disasters of buildings have become important in Japan, by the increase of severe flood disasters. For example, in Typhoon 19 (Hagibis) in 2019 due to flooding of a super high-rise condominium’s power receiving and transforming facilities, its elevators and water supply facilities became unusable, and in July 2020 extensive flooding inundation of facilities for the elderly and urban areas caused extensive human and building damage. In this symposium, we will exchange information on domestic and international efforts and technological trends, and consider issues that need to be addressed in the future. | ||||
