AB - In the past decade, it has become increasingly evident that the destruction potential of a wide range of natural and man-made hazards was growing in many countries. One of the major reasons behind this trend is the concentration of people and economic assets in hazard-prone areas. Therefore, the increasing threat of 'mega-risks' urges for the creation of partnerships between the public and private sector, and between local community groups and the national government in order to assess, prevent and respond to harmful events. Particularly, the roles of local government have enlarged in the risk management of disasters. The aim of this study is to establish the basis for an appraisal of all disaster preparedness system in local government of South Korean and Japan. To this end, the study reviews recent Japan's experiences which are significant now and which might be of particular relevance for the coming decades. From these, the study then draws some lessons for disaster preparedness and mitigation policy, considered in a holistic way for local government of South Korea. The first part of the study looks at a short overview of the theoretical concepts on risk management. The second part gives the current situation of Korean and Japan and its disaster management system, with comparison between local governments of both countries, and the lessons learnt from Japan's experiences and policies. Part three then discusses possible policy responses for local government of Korea.
