As record rainfall occurred on August 28, 2019 mainly affecting Northern Kyushu and caused damage to bulkheads on the coast around Shimonoseki Port in the Sanyo region, PARI dispatched four researchers, etc. (two of whom were PARI employees) to Shimonoseki Port, jointly with the Ports and Harbours Bureau, MLIT and the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (Yokosuka), to investigate the details of the damage caused by the disaster. In addition, the violent winds caused by Typhoon Faxai that passed over Japan on September 9, 2019 caused a ship to collide into Hama Road in Minami-Honmoku pier of Yokohama Port, and also the storm surge driven by the same typhoon caused damage to the bulkheads on the pier there, so PARI dispatched seven researchers to the site to investigate the damage to the bulkheads. Furthermore, as Typhoon Hagibis made landfall on the Izu Peninsula on October 12, 2019, and the storm surge driven by this large and strong typhoon caused damage to the bulkheads in the Kanazawa area of Yokohama Port, PARI sent four of its researchers to the site for investigation.
