HyDEPP-SATREPS Colloquium 2026

Kumusta? This is Budz again!

Last February, I joined Kawasaki Sensei at the SEARCA Headquarters in the Philippines for the HyDEPP-SATREPS Colloquium 2026. The event, a collaboration between the University of Tokyo and the University of the Philippines Los Baños, focused on presenting various research related to its theme: “When Water Strikes: Building Climate-Resilient Communities Through Hybrid Water Disaster Risk Assessment Technologies.”




During the plenary sessions, Kawasaki Sensei shared insights from the lab's localized assessment initiatives to better understand the relationship between flooding and poverty in Southeast Asian countries. I also had the chance to share a chapter of my PhD research on the development of flood resilience curves and was honored (and lucky) to be named one of the best presenters among the student participants.







Supported by JICA and JST, the colloquium emphasized turning scientific data into actionable, sustainable policy. I'm grateful for this opportunity to share our work and contribute to this initiative!
