Japan has launched the National Disaster Management Agency, aimed at strengthening its disaster response and preparedness. Headed by the prime minister, the agency will serve as the government's command center for natural disasters, covering preparation, assistance, and reconstruction. It will also develop basic policies and coordinate responses to large-scale disasters. The agency, with a staff of 352, is under direct cabinet control and has four departments. Plans are underway to establish regional branches and a disaster management college.
