Abstract:
This study examines the local government's response to tornadoes, and the results of this study can be applicable to future tornado responses. Oral interviews were conducted at 2 : 00 pm on 23rd October 2013 at the Koshigaya City Municipal Office. The questions mainly concerned challenges in support for tornado victims. The results of the interviews show that reporting from media was prevalent and responses from the city may have been insufficient. The study concludes that in past tornado disasters, information from the municipality was critical.
