This knowledge note focuses on various aspects of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and environmental management, including studies on: (i) developing record of school experiences from the East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (EJET); (ii) building school-based disaster resilient community, which includes a review of past DRR activities; (iii) interlinking DRR education with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD); (iv) strengthening community network in temporary housing facilities; and (v) the role of social capital in post-disaster recovery. It is part of a series, which is expected to continue with periodical publication for the next 3 to 5 years with close insights on community recovery in the Tohoku Region, Japan.

This report relates the experiences of those who survived the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami using information gathered at a workshop which included field visits and interviews with local representatives.
