Disasters associated with seismic and volcanic activities which are peculiar to orogenic zones occur frequently in the whole Pacific Rim. In addition, catastrophic sediment disasters caused by heavy rains and big typhoons are occurring increasingly in recent years as a result of climate change. People in the orogenic zones had to live with such disasters exerting desperate efforts to mitigate the impacts of such disasters. Technologies for disaster mitigation developed under such circumstances over a long time in the past should be regarded as the world heritage of mankind to be inherited for long in the future.
