Goshi Hosono, state minister in charge of disaster prevention, speaks to reporters at the Prime Minister's Office on Wednesday. | JIJI By Eric Johnston Staff writer Nov 1, 2026 Japan’s new disaster management agency, which launches Monday, will lead the nation’s preparations for, and response to, major natural disasters. But questions remain over how effective it will be in practice.
国家灾害管理厅（NDMA）旨在作为一个集中的指挥塔运作，通过加强各部省及地方政府间的协调来指导防灾准备和应对工作，特别是在东京都市圈发生重大灾害时。
The National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) is designed to function as a centralized control tower to direct disaster preparedness and response efforts by boosting coordination across ministries and local governments, particularly in the event of a major disaster in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
NDMA 的关键权力之一将是向各部省和机构发布指令。然而，不遵守这些指令并无法律处罚。
One of the NDMA’s key powers will be the ability to issue directives to ministries and agencies. However, there are no legal penalties for failing to follow them.
