Issuance of certificates in the event of a disaster-affliction certificate (excluding fire)

　In municipalities, based on the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law, houses (buildings actually used for living) due to natural disasters such as storms, heavy rains, earthquakes, etc. We certify the degree of damage and issue it as "Disaster Certificate".
　The "Disaster Certificate" is a document to smoothly proceed with the procedure when receiving support provided by the government. Depending on the support system, you may be required to submit your application.
　The degree of damage is a field survey by the municipalities or a self-judgment method by the affected person himself. ※Depending on the above, it is recognized as one of the six categories: "completely destroyed", "large-scale partially destroyed", "half-broken", "quasi-half-broken", "quasi-half-broken", and "no semi-destruction (partially damaged)".
※“Self-judgment method”
　If the degree of damage is minor and it does not lead to semi-destruction (partially damaged)", the applicant himself / herself determines that it does not lead to semi-destruction (partially damaged) You can issue an affliction certificate more quickly than. If you have any questions, please contact us at the counter.
