Donations Requested: FPCJ Symposium, “Improving Disaster Preparedness: Measures for Dissemination of Information for Disaster Risk Reduction”
post date : 2014.10.15
From August 29 to October 18, the Foreign Press Center/Japan (FPCJ) is raising funds with READYFOR, the most renowned crowd funding site in Japan, for the symposium on January 15, 2015.
https://readyfor.jp/projects/FPCJ
The FPCJ symposium, “Improving Disaster Preparedness: Measures for Dissemination of Information for Disaster Risk Reduction,” will invite domestic journalists and academics as panelists and discuss how the dissemination of information can contribute to substantially reducing the losses from large-scale disasters. The funds will be used to cover part of the cost of inviting a journalist from Indonesia, who covered the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, as one of the panelists. Your contribution will only be used for this project and will help us to achieve our goal, which is to increase the resilience to disasters of Japan, Indonesia, and the whole of Asia.
The FPCJ is also raising funds through its web site to enhance the dissemination of information from Japan to the world by actively supporting foreign media covering Japan. Your contribution will be used for (1) fellowship/invitation programs for journalists from developing countries, (2) press tours to areas devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake, (3) a program inviting journalists from disaster-hit countries, and (4) conferences for disseminating information from Japan. Thank you for your understanding of our activities and mission.
*Donating more than 2,000 yen to the FPCJ for programs (1) to (4) is eligible for deduction from earnings (deduction for donations). For details access the National Tax Agency web site.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
