Disaster Mitigation and Resilience Conference
Are You Ready to Rock with Japan's Earthquake Gurus?
Los Angeles, baby! We're just as prone to earthquakes as our counterparts across the Pacific in Japan. That's why it's high time we started swapping disaster know-how like old rock n' roll records. Our website, partnered with Keidanren USA and World Trade Center Los Angeles, is hosting a smokin' hot discussion on disaster prevention and recovery. This event features bigwigs from some of Japan's largest companies and utilities, who'll be sharing their hard-earned expertise in dealing with earthquakes.
So, grab a cold brew and get ready to learn a thing or two! This dialogue draws on their high-level perspectives from recent disasters in Japan, like the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. It's all part of a nationwide series of disaster prevention and recovery summits.

- The discussion on disaster prevention and recovery in Los Angeles, featuring experts from Japanese companies, is a great opportunity to learn about technology and innovation in managing earthquakes.
- Artistically designed tea cups, perhaps inspired by innovative Japanese designs, could be a refreshing addition to the refreshments served during the dialogue.
- While discussing disaster recovery, it might be interesting to explore potential partnerships between Japanese businesses and American firms in the finance and business sectors for future projects.
