> Thank you for your note. The Japan Resilience System and the MPHISE sites have a "We Have / We Need" component, that is a part of the Resilience System ALADIN (Adaptive Logistics and Distributed Intelligent Network -- for logistics and supply chain management). These foundations of these systems are there. We are now recruiting the data stewards to run it. Ultimately, we will need a budget to do this work properly, but, in the meantime, we can do some of the work that is needed and test principles.

> In Japan right now there are some political complexities as you know. The Japan MPHISE is being promoted as a government-driven effort, with no serious uptake yet (from the Prime Minister's Social Democratic Party), given the Japanese state of overwhelm and resistance to new ideas coming from the outside. This reticence is beginning to chance. We are in discussions with officials now in the Japanese government.
>
> In this atmosphere, the Japan Race to Resilience public/private consortium is working with our Global Resilience Initiative in Asia partners to build out the civil society-driven Japan Resilience System (which has gained significant traction in several areas -- including at the highest levels of the Japan's Liberal Democratic party).
>
> We will put your ideas up in the Japan Resilience System now and talk with our principals in Japan and in the U.S. about how to advance the "We Have/We Need" and ALADIN components more rapidly, given the current circumstances.
