case studies
The Tokyo 2020 Games have been postponed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to lead the Games to success, the Organising Committee for the Olympic Games collaborated with related organizations and implement necessary measures against infection diseases, including the establishment of an environment from athletes’ entry into Japan and departing from Japan and awareness-raising on behavioral patterns based on basic rules.
In addition, in order to ensure the safety and security of all visitors to the Tokyo 2020 Games, the OCOG identified the risks from the perspectives of infection diseases control, security measures, cybersecurity, and disaster response, formulate guidelines for handling various situations and conduct practical training. In addition, they established a crisis management system for safety and security that unites public and private sectors by strengthening cooperation with related organizations such as the national government and the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee and clarifying the division of roles. Also, the City Operation Center was set up during the Games to support smooth Games operation and alleviate the impact on the life of Tokyo residents. This report presents all these elements.
