This paper describes recent research and development on disaster prevention technology at RTRI. We developed some prevention techniques for extreme weather events such as tornados and localized heavy rainfall as part of RTRI's long-term research plan "RESEARCH2020". As part of this plan, a countermeasure against unusual or extreme weather events in the form of a real time hazard map system applying predictive meteorological information was developed. RTRI also built a method to evaluate resilience and a system for generating restoration strategies. A new long-term plan, called "RESEARCH2025" has been compiled, and RTRI is now working on developing two areas of research: a high precision operation control system applying observation data, and a method to evaluate slope stability after heavy rain.
