Disaster will happen anywhere, anytime, and everybody. However, to prepare for disaster is very difficult thing to do. In Disaster Nursing, we are accumulating the data related to disaster nursing, and developing the system which will function at the time of disaster. We are reviewing the curriculum for disaster nursing. Along with these activities, we are conducting the research to create systematic body of knowledge of disaster nursing and develop a center of excellence for disaster nursing. We have been designated as one of 21st century COE Program from the Ministry of education, culture, sports, science, and technology; "development of a Center of Excellence for Disaster Nursing in a Ubiquitous Society," We are also submitting the designation to be appointed as a collaborating Center for Nursing Development of WHO to serve the world wide community.

　International Health Community Nursing has been designed to improve the quality of community nursing in developing courtiers under the concept of Primary Health Care (PHC) by WHO and through Japanese health experiences which reached the healthy living in the world. We invite nursing educators and administrators in Japan and conduct a "PHC and nursing" training in collaboration with different organizations in Hyogo such as WHO Kobe Center, provincial hospitals and municipal health centers. After the training, follow up would be carried out with counterpart countries. In the future, we will continue to explore the methodology of developing suitable community nursing in developing countries ( Indonesia, Cambodia, etc.). Moreover, we will try to find the possibility of collaborative research between University in Indonesia and to create distant support system through the use of information technology .
