Key Questions 1.How should we enhance the use of existing and new technologies to manage disasters induced by climate change and population growth? What kinds of technologies are needed? Why? How can we have decision makers recognize importance of technologies? 2.How should we incorporate technologies for minimizing economic and human loss into domestic institution and culture? How can we introduce new technologies and make them rooted in each country? How can we sustain local tradition or culture against disaster?

Conclusion (1) Conventional and new technologies to cope with water- related disasters are not well-combined. The wise combination of new technologies and existing ones should be sought to manage water- related disaster risk reduction. The application of such technologies should take into account the regional characteristics, as well as available financial and human resources.

Conclusion (2) People tend to be attracted to cutting edge technologies. Local and indigenous knowledge on disaster management should be handed down to the next generation. Locally inherited technologies could be more suitable for the area after proved to be effective for generations. The resources for developing a new technology and those for maintaining/utilizing it should be well- balanced. A technology- supported response among people should become a part of culture, should the technology be truly effective.

Conclusion (3) Decision/policy makers are not well-informed of the current situation, causes, forecasts, and effects of disasters. Fast and accurate information is crucial to decision makers especially during disaster response. Proper prediction of changes in disaster situations is necessary to formulate appropriate policies against disasters. Essential disaster information should be provided to decision / policy makers in a timely manner with help of appropriate technologies.
