Founded in 1991, GHI is the first non-profit, nongovernmental organization dedicated to mitigating earthquake, tsunami, and landslide risks in the world's poorest and most at-risk regions. Its solutions emphasize preparedness, mitigation, and building local capacity in order to manage risk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our Mission )〕 ==History== Since its founding in 1991,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our Approach )〕 GeoHazards International has worked in more than 20 different countries around the world to develop and deploy preventative solutions that are known to save lives in the face of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and impacts from climate change.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our Projects )〕 Brian Tucker initially formulated the idea for the organization in 1977 when he visited Tajikistan, soon after completing his Ph.D. in seismology, as part of an exchange program between the Soviet Union and the United States. After conversations with local community members in some of the mountainous regions of the country, many of whom could still recall the devastating earthquake that hit the country in 1949, Tucker thought simple changes in building design could dramatically reduce the risk of deaths and injuries from earthquakes in developing countries, but also realized many people had not taken those steps. Fourteen years later, Tucker founded GeoHazards International in order to realize his vision of communities in the most vulnerable areas around the world preparing for and mitigating the risks associated with natural disasters through technical solutions and local expertise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The People We Serve )〕 The focus on people in low- and middle-income countries comes from the concern that these countries face the highest risk of death and injury in natural disasters, due to poor building code enforcement, poor urban planning, and no local technical skills to manage high risk. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GeoHazards International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
