What is the disaster prevention and mitigation agency in Japan?

The Central Disaster Prevention Conference belongs to the Cabinet and is presided over by the Japanese Prime Minister.

Japan is a country full of crisis consciousness. In order to cope with various possible crises, since the 1990s, crisis management systems have been established from central to local governments, which have played an important role in dealing with emergencies. Japan's crisis management system makes decisions through security meetings, cabinet meetings and central disaster prevention meetings, with the full cooperation of Japan's National Police Agency, Defense Agency, Coast Guard and Fire Department. The types of crises are different, and the departments that play a major role are also different. In the crisis management of natural disasters, the Central Disaster Prevention Conference plays a prominent role. The chairman of the Central Disaster Prevention Conference is the Prime Minister, and its members include all ministers. At the time of the disaster, in addition to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, there were large-scale emergency rescue teams in the police headquarters of various prefectures and counties in Japan, with a total number of about 4,000 people. There are fire headquarters and fire brigades in every city, town and village in Japan, and there are 22 10 disaster emergency fire rescue teams in China, with a total number of about 3 1000 people. Japan is an earthquake-prone country, and more than 300 earthquakes can be detected every day. There are many earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in Japan every year, and there were two major earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above last year. Within half an hour after the earthquake, the Prime Minister and the main leaders of provincial offices should form a crisis management center at the Prime Minister's residence to analyze the disaster situation and formulate countermeasures. The Meteorological Agency is responsible for providing various disaster forecasts. The rescue team composed of firefighters, police and self-defense forces can immediately put into emergency rescue activities at the request of the local government. Electric power, gas, water supply companies, communications, transportation and other departments have their own disaster prevention systems. When an earthquake occurs, they can fight independently and coordinate their actions. At 4: 50 on September 26th last year, an earthquake measuring 8 on the Richter scale occurred in the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan, and the Japanese disaster prevention system exerted its power. Within 30 minutes after the earthquake, an emergency team composed of officials at the director level of each provincial office gathered in the crisis management center of the Prime Minister's residence to analyze the disaster situation and discuss countermeasures. The crisis management center of the Prime Minister's official residence set up the official residence countermeasure room immediately after the emergency group meeting, and Koizumi instructed the provincial offices to cooperate closely and take foolproof measures to deal with the earthquake disaster. At the same time, it was decided to send three cabinet office personnel to the disaster site in Hokkaido to understand the disaster situation. In addition to releasing the latest earthquake predictions through television and the Internet, the Japan Meteorological Agency also held several press conferences to inform the earthquake situation in time. The TV station of Japan Broadcasting Association interrupted all programs, repeatedly broadcast the live video during the earthquake and broadcast the scenes after the earthquake, so that people can grasp the disaster situation as soon as possible and take corresponding measures. The Japanese police quickly launched rescue activities, and firefighters also made great contributions. Japan's electric power, communications, gas, transportation and other departments started their own disaster prevention systems, and all of them resumed normal operation around 1 1 that morning. Due to the effective response measures, the losses caused by this earthquake are not serious. & lt/b & gt；
