It has been 10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. Today, some 40,000 people remain as evacuees. The memories and lessons of this earthquake should not be forgotten. This paper summarizes Ishinomaki Senshu University's response to the Great East Japan Earthquake, as well as the national government's efforts regarding earthquakes and disaster prevention. In addition, the general principles of crisis response and issues related to earthquakes and disaster prevention are summarized. Based on these discussions, the role of universities in large-scale disasters was examined from the perspectives of regional contribution by universities, as well as the construction of cooperative relationships and collaboration on disaster response and prevention.
