国际灾害科学研究所（IRIDeS）是东北大学最新的研究所，在东日本大地震发生大约一年后成立。

IRIDeS 由来自不同专业领域的约 100 名研究人员组成，在7个部门工作，以深化灾害科学和建立实用防灾科学，同时根据灾害应对周期组织问题和对策。迄今为止，在了解东日本大地震的破坏、阐明大地震和海啸机制、建立地震档案、实施对灾区的援助以及建立灾害医学方面，取得了稳步成果。

IRIDeS全力支持2015年3月在仙台举行的第三届联合国减少灾害风险世界会议，并继续开展各种研究和实践活动，强调国内外产业、政府和学术界和私营部门之间的合作，以促进执行联合国会议通过的全球减灾准则“仙台减灾框架2015-2030”。在继续开展灾害科学的学术研究的同时，研究人员将努力在东日本大地震等受灾地区重建的同时，在日本和海外全面减少灾害。

The International Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS) is Tohoku University's newest research institute, established about a year after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

IRIDeS consists of about 100 researchers from different fields of expertise working in 7 departments to deepen disaster science and establish practical disaster prevention science, while organizing problems and countermeasures according to the disaster response cycle. So far, steady results have been achieved in understanding the damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, clarifying the mechanism of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, establishing earthquake archives, implementing assistance to disaster-stricken areas, and establishing disaster medicine.

IRIDeS fully supports the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, held in Sendai in March 2015, and continues to carry out various research and practical activities, emphasizing cooperation between industry, government and academia and the private sector at home and abroad, to promote the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Reduction 2015-2030, a global disaster reduction guideline adopted by the United Nations Conference. While continuing academic research in disaster science, researchers will strive to reduce disasters comprehensively in Japan and overseas while rebuilding disaster-stricken areas such as the Great East Japan Earthquake.
