Abstract:
The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. As a representative of a local earthquake relief headquarters, I report what we have done in the stricken area following the Great East Japan Earthquake for the three months afterwards. As a result of this report, I strongly recommend the establishment of a “Disaster Rehabilitation” and “Disaster Acute Rehabilitation Team (DART)” as well as creating a “Disaster Rehabilitation Manual or Guideline” in order to pass the knowledge learned through our experience on to future generations and to be able to respond to any forthcoming disaster quickly and efficiently.
