Sediment disaster happen frequently in our country every year, and a lot of lives and the properties have been lost because of them. Non-structural measures for prevention of sediment disaster have been introduced by prefectures based on the Sediment-related Disaster Prevention Law established after the devastating rainstorm damage in Hiroshima in 1999. They include formulation of sediment disaster warning and evacuation standard rainfall and designation of sediment disaster warning zones and sediment disaster special warning zones. As a practical example, this research focused on the case of "TEC-FORCE" of "MLIT of Japan" as a method of utilizing professional workforce and the sediment disaster warning information delivery system in Kagoshima. In the future, it will be called for prevention and reduction of damages by utilizing professional workforce and sediment disaster response system such as Japan.
