Gave a talk on wildfire research at the 10th Forum for Advanced Fire Education/Research in Asia , organized by the Center for Fire Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science. 東京理科大学火災科学研究所が主催した国際フォーラムで林野火災研究について紹介しました. I am wearing the tie I received from the Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defence! バングラデシュからの参加者にいただいたネクタイをしています! We visited the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel  on March 7. What a huge facility! This facility is to prevent flooding. 3月7日には首都圏外郭放水路の見学にも行きました.洪水を防ぐための巨大な施設です. We also visited the  Honjo Disaster Prevention Hall .
