Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to establish a disaster vocabulary database. In order to pursue this, we conducted a vocabulary survey of municipal disaster prevention pamphlets and municipal homepages. Also, we conducted a vocabulary survey on the local newspaper issued after "the Kumamoto earthquake in Heisei 28." Finally, we chose about 110 words necessary for disaster. It has been a tough work, so we are still arranging the database for releasing it in near future.
