Khorat x Aso: Strengthening Global Resilience Together! ​On April 21, 2026,

​On April 21, 2026, Khorat UNESCO Global Geopark hosted a landmark experience-sharing session titled "Earthquake Resilience and Safety Measures: Sharing Best Practices from Aso UNESCO Global Geopark, Japan." Held during APGN Week and in celebration of Earth Day, this international collaboration brought together over 70 participants both online and onsite at the Khorat Fossil Museum, Khorat Geopark Office.

​We were honored to have the Director of Aso UGGp and representative of Nishihara village share Japan’s leading safety protocols. In a deeply moving gesture, the Aso team also provided disaster manuals translated into Thai specifically for our residents.

​This event marked the 1st anniversary of the 2025 Myanmar earthquake and also marks the 10th anniversary of the major earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan to serving as a stark reminder that "Geological Hazards know no borders" and that preparedness is our best defense. The diverse audience included Geopark staff, local leaders, Village Health Volunteers (VHV), and enthusiastic students.

​A heartfelt thank you to the Aso Geopark team for their generosity and friendship. Together, we are building a safer, more resilient future for our communities!
