Join EngageAsia for a special resilience webinar featuring Ms. Amya Miller.

Born and raised in Japan, Amya Miller is the only foreigner hired by a municipality post-disaster 2011 to work as a voice for those affected by the tsunami. A 28-year resident of Japan with a career spanning over 30 years in US-Japan relations, her intrinsic and instinctive knowledge of Japan helped catapult in particular the City of Rikuzentakata into the mainstream media both in Japan and globally.

Miller brings a fresh perspective to the concepts of empathy and resiliency from the perspective of disaster victims. She is currently writing a book with Mayor Futoshi Toba of Rikuzentakata on their experiences over the past ten years in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.

“The story of a boat” which Miller spearheaded has gained international coverage and recognition. In this webinar, Miller discusses how she connected two high schools and two cities with formal partnerships.
