With foreign residents and tourist numbers rising, Chiba Prefecture has launched a program to train 'disaster-time foreign student influencers' who use social media to share multilingual disaster information. The initiative, conducted with Kanda University of International Studies in Chiba City, draws on past inquiries from foreigners during disasters to craft essential guidance. Seventeen students from the university and Japanese peers participated, and the program is part of a broader agreement to promote foreign participation and multicultural coexistence. Trainees will be registered as disaster influencers; during emergencies they will receive multilingual updates from a disaster portal and translate them into their mother tongues before posting on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. There are about 231,614 resident foreigners in the prefecture, 3.7% of the population, spanning 165 countries and regions.
