50 ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Annual Review 2009 f. Identified Opportunities/Challenges for Future Achievements/Results 2. Progress on Key Result Area 2: Minimized Typhoon-related Social and Economic Impacts. a. Meteorological Achievements/Results a-1. JMA’s Five-day Track Forecasts As of 22 April 2009, the RSMC Tokyo - Typhoon Center of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) started issuing five-day track forecasts every six hours in addition to the existing three-day track and intensity forecasts. The new reports include center positions and radii of probability circles* for the fourth and fifth forecast days, which contribute to improving early warning activities against tropical cyclones (TCs). These five-day track forecasts have been realized mainly as a result of recent improvements in numerical weather prediction, including the development of the Typhoon Ensemble Prediction System (TEPS). * Probability circle: a circular range in which a TC is expected to be located with a probability of 70% at each forecast time, indicating the uncertainty of the forecast Figure 12 Examples of a five-day track forecast, tropical cyclone Melor (0918) (KRA1, 4, 5, 6) b. Hydrological Achievements/Results b-1. Enhancement of Countermeasures for Largescale Sediment-related Disasters Involving Landslide Dams Based on the understanding that it is the national government’s essential responsibility to protect the lives and property of the country’s citizens from earthquakes, floods and other disasters, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) organizes and dispatches Technical Emergency Control Force (TEC-FORCE) teams to affected areas to quickly assess damage status as part of efforts to better respond to natural disasters, which have been increasingly frequent in recent years. As local governments have little experience in coping with major natural disasters, they lack the technical expertise needed to respond to them. In March 2009, MLIT amended a Ministerial Ordinance to allow the national government to initiate countermeasures for sediment-related emergencies in the event of a large-scale natural disaster, regardless of the responsibilities and jurisdiction of the local governments that usually lead such efforts. The revised ordinance was soon applied to the July 2009 disaster in Yamaguchi Prefecture’s Hofu City for the first time, and countermeasures for sedimentrelated disasters were directly conducted by a local MLIT branch office. In the face of a large-scale natural disaster, it is essential for the national government to step in and take direct countermeasures based on experience and knowledge gained by coping with a variety of natural disasters in the past. Heavy rainfall events and earthquakes have resulted in the formation of as many as 82 landslide dams throughout Japan in the past 200 years. A landslide dam is created when a landslide blocks a river channel, and can result in large-scale disaster once the river breaches it and causes debris flow. In 2008 when an inland earthquake affected parts of Iwate and Miyagi Prefectures, 15 landslide dams formed in a limited area within a 20-km radius. The affected area is basically under the jurisdiction of the local government, but since it required a high level of technical expertise to implement measures against landslide dams breach, we directly implemented countermeasure work such as pump drainage and construction of an interim diversion to lower water levels, thereby coping with 9 urgent major landslide dams among the 15 in response to requests from local governors. Based on the case of Iwate and Miyagi, MLIT set up a research committee on risk management for large-scale landslide dams. The committee has made recommendations for such management and contributed to further progress in the field.

Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Achievements/Results d. Research, Training, and Other Achievements/ Results e. Regional Cooperation Achievements/Results e-1. Publication of “Practical Guideline on Strategic Climate Change Adaptation Planning – Water-related Disasters –” Severer floods due to climate change occur on a global scale and are common issues facing the international community, although the degree of impact varies by region. Located in the Asian Monsoon region, some Asia-Pacific countries have climatic and geological conditions similar to those of Japan, and their areas of production and inhabitation are based mostly on alluvial plains. The guideline prepared by experts in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) describes a framework for procedures to develop adaptation measures against severer flood disasters due to climate change based on experiences, strategies and technologies accumulated in Japan. The publication mainly targets countries facing conditions such as: 1) expected socio-economic development and urbanization due to population growth; 2) a basis of living and production situated on alluvial plains; and 3) underdeveloped flood control measures (e.g., countries in the Asia-Pacific region and others). Compared with existing guidelines on flood management, the importance of estimating future meteorological external forces such as precipitation is higher in the development of climate change adaptation measures. Accordingly, the publication contains a full account outlining the setting of meteorological external forces. In order to make an international contribution by implementing technical support to concrete climate change adaptation planning in the Asia-Pacific region, MLIT established “Advisory board on promotion of international contribution regarding climate change adaptation measures”, which consists of academic experts (chaired by Prof. Toshio KOIKE of Tokyo University) in June 2009.Based on suggestions from the advisory board, the guideline will be further improved. MLIT hopes to contribute to the promotion of effective adaptation measures in the Asia-Pacific region by utilizing the guideline through various activities such as Climate Change and Adaptation Knowledge Hubs in Asia Pacific Water Forum (APWF), bilateral cooperation by JICA, and so on.
