Against the backdrop of increasingly severe disasters, Japanese disaster prevention technology is attracting attention in Brazil. *Dispatch of lecturers to lectures hosted by the non-profit
organization Instituto de Engenharia*
Chuo Kaihatsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Makoto Tanaka) dispatched a lecturer to a lecture on “Natural Disaster Countermeasures: Japanese Geotechnical and Hydrological Solutions” held in Brazil. .
This lecture was organized by a Brazilian non-profit organization * Instituto de Engenharia *
More than 100 people attended the event, including people from research institutions, academics, government officials, and
construction consultants, and over 800 people watched the event online.
At the lecture, based on the physical condition that Japan is located in an area prone to earthquakes and climate change, he gave a lecture on geological DX and river disaster prevention in a country that is often hit by natural disasters.
Instituto de Engenharia
1916*
A Brazilian non-profit organization founded in 2013. With the mission of “promoting engineering for the development of society and the quality of life,” experts in the engineering market gather to conduct research and discussions that will lead to Brazil’s development in a wide variety of fields such as energy and mobility. conduct. * *
With a focus on continuing education, we conduct seminars and lectures, as well as activities such as technical visits and content publications, to promote information exchange and networking among experts in this field, and to promote domestic engineering and technological progress. We are promoting evaluation of *

Lecture “Prevencao de desastres naturais: Solucoes em Geotecnia e Hidrologia no Japao”
1. Suppression of road collapse by utilizing geological DX
DX promotion is also being actively promoted in the geological field. The technologies introduced this time are 1. SfM (technology for creating 3D modeling from images), 2. Geological risk determination method using microtopographic representation maps, and 3. Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
This is a landslide prediction technology using the NETIS evaluation promotion technology “Kantaro”.
2.River monitoring technology in urban areas
*
We introduced examples of flood damage occurring in urban areas in Japan and the “river management system” installed on rivers in Tokyo’s 23 wards. This system includes: 1. Water level observation, 2. Rainfall observation, 3. Live camera, 4. Warning device.
It is made up of , and is open to the public. *
* Also, information on actual flood disasters that occurred in Japan, * types of evacuation information, and codes of conduct to be followed at that time, *
Using rainfall data and other data, we emphasized the need for a river management system. *
3. Reaction to the lecture
* In Japan, natural disasters occur almost every year due to climate change, and words such as “disaster prevention” and “disaster mitigation” have become familiar to us. *
In Brazil, heavy rains caused flooding in Rio Grande do Sul state in April 2024. Approximately 2 million people were affected by this disaster, which has been described in the media as the “worst flood in history.”*
Disaster response and disaster prevention technology is attracting increasing attention in Brazil. *
Lecture “Prevencao de desastres naturais: Solucoes em Geotecnia e Hidrologia no As if to prove this, the lecture “Japao” received many questions from the audience, and the people who attended the lecture seemed to be listening intently about Japan’s disaster prevention technology.* *This lecture served as an opportunity for Chuo Kaihatsu*
We have received inquiries from a number of local companies, including mining companies that manage tailings dams and freight railways, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry plans to
As part of the Global South future-oriented co-creation project*, we plan to install monitoring equipment. *
*This is a demonstration project aimed at developing a “slope disaster prevention monitoring service using IoT slope sensors.”
The aim is to build a service provision system and commercialize it in the country. Through this, Chuo Kaihatsu aims to contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation of slope disasters, which are increasing in the local area.

4. Central Development’s efforts in Latin America
*Chuo Kaihatsu* has been involved in exchange projects between Japan and Latin America since July 2012, supporting the building of networks between prefectures and local Nikkei people, *
Training in Japanese agricultural technology, promoting business between Japanese companies and Latin America, and introducing Japanese special products and tourism resources to local people*
We are continuing our efforts to do so. The countries involved include Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia.
– Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries: Agricultural technology training and business promotion between Japan and Latin America
– Shizuoka Prefecture: Produces a detective drama and introduces the prefecture’s famous places and special products in the story – Tochigi Prefecture: Operated an online exchange event between the agricultural club of the prefectural high school and local people – Ibaraki Prefecture: Introducing special products such as natto products and tea to local restaurants
– Ehime Prefecture: Organized an exchange event between Tobeyaki manufacturers and artists active overseas
– Akita Prefecture: Organizes events to introduce traditional performing arts such as dance to local people
In addition, in the field of disaster prevention technology, * Inclinometers are installed in locations in Brazil that are at high risk of landslides, and monitoring is conducted to detect signs of slope failure and issue warnings to nearby residents.*
We have been implementing this continuously* since 2022. *
CEMEDEN (Brazilian Federal Disaster Prevention Monitoring Center) and * Observations have been conducted in the cities of Barueri and Franco da Rocha (both in São Paulo state, Brazil), and this technology has been highly evaluated. *

We at the Soil and Water Holdings Group seem to understand the theme of “soil and water,” but there are still many unknowns that remain unknown. Each region is different due to the mountain-building activities of the earth, and conditions and environments vary greatly from time to time, making it impossible to make a uniform decision. We place emphasis on natural sites, and based on our practical experience, we sometimes develop new necessary technologies, and strive to make accurate decisions based on accurate research.
