Isogo Ward Disaster Relief Support Project

In the Great East Japan Earthquake, elderly people accounted for the majority of victims, and the mortality rate of persons with disabilities is estimated to double the mortality rate for all affected people. This trend is the same for large-scale disasters in the past, and there is an urgent need to strengthen efforts to support people requiring assistance during disasters.
The local community's community support will exert a great deal of support for the quick safety confirmation and evacuation assistance. Taking the example of the Great East Japan Earthquake as an example, it takes about three days after the disaster to begin full-scale administrative activities, and most of the affected people have been helped by neighbors or communities.

Isogo Ward is promoting initiatives to support people requiring assistance during disasters.

3. Grading and updating information on persons requiring assistance
