Today, 30 years after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the memory of January 17, 1995 comes back to life.
It is important that the lessons of the earthquake not fade away, but continue to be utilized in future disaster prevention measures. Hyogo Prefecture has set up a new basic concept of “Connecting” in addition to “Remember,” “Communicate,” “Utilize,” and “Prepare,” emphasizing the importance of passing on the experiences and lessons of the earthquake to the next generation.
