The following website is now active. I post an article everyday.
http://disasters.weblike.jp/disasters/

The class was completed. I could not have enough time to describe the contents here. So I will create a new website and write about disaster research note with the contents. The page will be linked with this class page. 
disasters.weblike.jp/disasters/


The above is the site. I am sorry it is still under construction.

For example, In the Week 3, we learned disaster theories and their utilizations such as some disaster related terms definitions,PAR model, and so on. We  constructed a simple vulnerability index with demographic datasets.  I will write this kind of activities from the Week 1 for your reference. 

We are learning the basic conceptsfor this course at Part Ⅰ. We are working  on invesigating Typhoon Haiyan Disaster in 2003  as a model to understand the Part Ⅰ more clearly. Typhoon Haiyan Disaster was the most interested topic for the participants. We have already lerned theories, disaster data collections, intelligence, framework, and methodologies. We will use those for invesigating Typhoon Haiyan toghether.

Because of the request, The part III will be modified. We will reduce Thailand cases.

I ve just changed the readings, grading, and assignment contents. Each week contents can be referred CUCAS now. I will chatch up gradually. Thank you.

The contents will be revised soon.

CUCAS will be applied for the syllabus system. Schoology will be used as LMS(Learning Management System) for this class. This weebly site will be revised as a platform.
