Taiwan should learn from Japan's disaster preparedness to reduce the damage caused by tsunamis and other natural disasters, since both countries are prone to earthquakes, National Cheng Kung University President Huang Huang-hui said, as reported by Focus Taiwan. Huang made the remarks at a disaster prevention conference in which several Japanese seismology experts were invited to share their research on earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.
