About

For a number of years, researchers have investigated the use of information technology to mitigate damage and suffer due to natural disasters by early detection, rapid and optimal resource distribution, and information utilization. However, the infrastructure to enable these operations has not yet been established. This pilot collaboration between India and Japan aims to deploy infrastructure for continuous data collection, expecting earthquakes and weather as test cases, and to develop the technical basis for rescue and recovery. This project is conducted on the framework of Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) which is the joint enterprise of Japan Science and Technology Agency(JST) and Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA) .
