Japan launches National Disaster Management Agency

National Disaster Management Agency Nankai Trough earthquake Sanae Takaichi Goshi Hosono disaster preparedness

Japan officially launched the National Disaster Management Agency on November 2, 2026, to serve as a central command tower for disaster preparedness, emergency response, and reconstruction. The agency aims to strengthen the nation's resilience against catastrophic events, including a potential Nankai Trough megaquake, a Tokyo metropolitan earthquake, and a Mount Fuji eruption.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi attended the inauguration, instructing government ministries to reduce bureaucratic silos to support the agency's coordination efforts. Reconstruction Minister Goshi Hosono, who also serves as the Disaster Management Minister, issued an emergency request to the public. He urged citizens to stockpile at least three days, and ideally one week, of food and water, secure furniture to prevent injury, and confirm evacuation routes and shelter locations.

The agency will be staffed by approximately 352 people, a 60 percent increase from its predecessor within the Cabinet Office. It is tasked with overseeing disaster prevention, immediate response, and long-term recovery. To support these goals, the government aims to promote 2.6 trillion yen in public and private investment in disaster prevention technology over the next five years. Regional centers are planned, with locations to be selected in summer 2027 and operational by July 2028.
