From July 12^th to 14^th, "International Workshop on Geodynamics and Disaster Mitigation of West Java" was held by "Multi-disciplinary Hazard Reduction from Earthquakes and Volcanoes in Indonesia" in Institute of Technology Bandung. This workshop was held to share the results of their collaborative study regarding Earthquakes and Volcanoes in West Java, mainly in Bandung.

The sessions covered a wide range including "Tectonic and Active Fault Observation", "Strong Motion Prediction and Seismic Hazard Subsidence", "Tsunami Observation and Potential", "Volcano Observation and Mitigation" and "Vulnerability and Social Aspects of Disaster". The last session, "Vulnerability and Social Aspects of Disaster", was related to establishment of the early warning and emergency measures which Integrated Disaster Mitigation Management project for Banjir Bandang set as a target. For the establishment of the early warning and emergency measures, we think information sharing such as case analysis results from related projects is very important.
