The Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion is a specialized institution established to utilize the research outcomes on seismic activities post the experience of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in January 1995. With a goal to disseminate these findings to society and centrally promote earthquake-related investigations, this institution plays a vital role in governmental initiatives. Its activities encompass a comprehensive evaluation of seismic events, from monthly assessments to long-term evaluations of fault lines and tsunami risks.

Providing invaluable information on earthquakes and tsunamis, the institution collects data for disaster prevention and mitigation, catering to various stakeholders such as local governments, educators, researchers, and young learners. Through its various committees, the Headquarters generates reports and valuable resources that contribute to the country's overall disaster preparedness and response strategies
