The National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) is a Japanese organization dedicated to studying Earth's processes and natural hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Their goal is to understand these phenomena better, improve early warning systems, and develop strategies to reduce disaster risks. By conducting scientific research and monitoring environmental data, NIED helps protect communities and enhance safety, especially in regions prone to natural disasters. Their work supports informed decision-making and resilience-building to minimize the impact of natural events on society.
