| Abstract: | In order to improve the efficiency of disaster reduction, the government of Taiwan has taken a number of initiatives in the
development of disaster reduction technology since 1982, including the 1st, 2nd and 3rd 5-year plans for hazards prevention
research, and the National Science and Technology Program for Hazards Mitigation (NAPHM). In this article, the contents and
achievements of the 5-year plans and the NAPHM are briefly reviewed. On the one hand, the 5-year plans have produced meaningful
research results; on the other hand, the NAPHM has provided a mechanism for integrating and translating the research results
into technologies that can be implemented. The NAPHM was transformed in 2003 into the National Science and Technology Center
for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) to further enhance the development and implementation of disaster technology. The mission and
major future works of the NCDR are discussed. |
