In the "Kick-Off Seminar", current conditions of "Banjir Bandang" Management and countermeasures in Indonesia and Japan, and the object and contents of activities of the project were introduced to around 60 members including Ministry of Public Works in Indonesia, National Disaster Management Agency, concerned parties in East Java Province, etc.
