Muneyoshi Numada

Numada oversees the Disaster Management Training Center (DMTC) at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS).

We have established a systematic and practical education and training center "Disaster Countermeasures Training Center" to enhance the disaster response capabilities of all citizens, including municipal, prefectural, and national government officials. We aim to realize a future that can support the lives of each and every one of us, regardless of country or region, by fostering and implementing disaster response capabilities of individuals and society in response to the natural disasters that humankind faces.

Numata Laboratory conducts a wide range of research on disaster countermeasures.
・ Disaster response process, standardization, systemization
・ Disaster response simulation
・ Resource optimization allocation simulation such as human resources in the event of a disaster
・ Evacuation insurance
・ Administrative disaster response
・ Optimal distribution simulation of emergency relief supplies
・ Micro for future power demand Grid
・ Restoration of fishery villages ・ Regeneration strategy
・ Organizational theory of crisis management
・ Risk communication

exchanges with, the University of Hawaii, Indonesia, Bangladesh, international research, such as India
, etc. Such.

Students can conduct research with a wide range of approaches, such as wanting to observe on-site, conducting experiments, researching earthquake motion using a shaking table, developing simulation technology by numerical analysis, and researching strategic theory.
