Bosai +
Bosai + | Designing for Everyday Uncertainty
In Japan, the term âBosaiâ directly translates to âdisaster prevention,â but it concerns a larger set of practices, behaviors, structures, and spaces to reduce disaster risk and increase disaster preparedness. In order for Bosai culture to become a part of peopleâs lives, it should be addressed across scales and integrated into everyday uses.
Through BOSAI +, the Urban Risk Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aims to create a culture of preparedness and risk reduction by developing a series of personal objects that embed disaster preparedness, response and awareness into everyday, dual-use objects.
