【Participants Wanted】Sendai Symposium for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Future「Non-Japanese residents and communal disaster prevention in the age of multiculturalism」（仙台防災未来フォーラム）
In recent years, the number of foreign residents living in Sendai has been steadily increasing. On the other hand, the frequency of natural hazards such as typhoons has been increasing as well. In order to ensure that each and every one of us can live safely and soundly, it is important for Japanese and non-Japanese residents to come together to think about disaster risk reduction in the community and make preparations for when a disaster strikes. Join us in thinking about communal disaster prevention in the age of multiculturalism.
