Information dissemination methods in the formulation of regional disaster prevention plans.

Abstract

This paper explores the importance of information dissemination methods central to disaster response in regional disaster prevention plans. Focusing on traditional, digital, and face-to-face methods, it analyzes their characteristics and effectiveness, using the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake as a case study. The paper argues that information dissemination is not just about technology but is also linked to residents' awareness and the quality of communication, emphasizing the need for its optimization in tandem with future technological innovations.
