Sudden natural disasters frequently have occurred in Japan. ALOS satellite data support to repair the damaged area and mitigate the disasters in Japan as well as all around the world. In this paper, the status of remote sensing and data policy in Japan are described. In addition, satellite-based remote sensing technology effectively contribute to the public sector and related support to establish the infra system of satellite application promotion has been investigated.
