・List up the "players" for crisis management.
・We choose an example of a big volcano eruption(e.g., 1980 MSH/expected Mt. Fuji, Asama, etc...), we simulate how the "players" should act.
・List up the problems and difficult points based on the simulation and discuss how we organize the "best/better" management.
・Discuss on what we have to prepare in advance. etc..
15:00 Closing Remarks(K. Kitta, YIES)
