The Japan Emergency Team is Japan`s only non-government related Disaster
Relief Team and Asia`s pioneering such operation.
Begun in 1989 when a group of 38 Students from Chuo University in Tokyo
met with US President Ronald Reagan and subsequently traveled to assist
on site at the San Francisco Earthquake it became the first overseas disaster
response in Japanese history.
Japan`s government disaster team is modeled after the team and was set up
following subsequent meetings with the Japan Emergency Team which enjoys
very close cooperative relations with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
and other agencies.
Following the San Francisco Earthquake response The Japan Emergency Team
has been to nearly every disaster in the world.
Currently the team is in Iraq and the Niigata area of Japan where there
was a terrible earthquake.
