notes: From the Website The Nippon Volunteer Network Active in Disaster (NVNAD: located in Nishinomiya, Japan: the President, Toshiaki Tanaka) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established after the 1995 Great Hanshin (Kobe) earthquake. The NVNAD was incorporated as the first Non-Profit Organization in Hyogo Prefecture in April 1999, according to a newly introduced law. In an emergency, it is activated for domestic and international disaster as one of agencies for coordinating volunteers, their relationships with local governments, communities, victims, and other organizations, and donation goods/will; while, during peace time, it is working for the following three categories: 1. To network disaster volunteer organizations in Japan. 2. To provide local communities with the workshop called "Preventing Disaster Without Saying Disaster Prevention." 3. To run a series of lectures/activities for future disaster volunteers and local governments. The NVNAD has been activated in, for instance: Indonesia-Irian Jaya Earthquake (1996) Japan Sea Oil Spill Accident (1997) Floods in northern Japan (1998) Currently, the NVNAD has been activated for the Turkey and Taiwan EQ. As for Turkey, we have collected donation money and cooperated with Japan-Turkey Cultural Exchange Association to send tents to the victims; while for Taiwan, we visited there twice, one was on the day of EQ, and have been cooperating with various people in both countries to coordinate needs and seeds by exchanging a ﾒbi-weekly newsletterﾓ. ->
