Community Resilience: Planning for and Recovering from Disasters in Japan and the U.S.
Keynote Speaker: Paula Brooks, Franklin County CommissionerSpecial Guests: Japanese Residents of the 2011 Tsunami Disaster Area Promotion of societal resilience takes place at multiple levels. In this workshop, participants discuss efforts to improve community recovery from earthquakes, hurricanes and other large-scale events. Although such efforts are widely known involve government planners who focus on infrastructure, rescue and relief, re-establishment of a sense of social well-being and psychological adjustment constitute long-term, significant challenges in which community participation and initiative can make signal contributions. This workshop explores a range of these efforts, drawing largely on developments in Franklin County and OSU-based research and especially rebuilding following the massive destruction of the Great Northeast Japan Triple Disaster of 2011. We are especially honored to have five Japanese scholars whose work introduces an important element in Japanese disaster recovery: re-establishing a sense of connection to the pre-disaster community. A sense of place, and rootedness in a place and its traditions, play a significant role in the more rural areas of Japan (such as those destroyed by the 2011 tsunami) in people’s sense of identity and connectedness in ways not true for large urban areas. Participating specialists are engaged in combined community-local government efforts to re-establish a sense of community and personal identity in the post-disaster world.
