1 When a large-scale disaster occurs, the priority changes depending on the severity of the symptoms.
　In medical institutions, treatment of severely ill people is given priority in order to save as many people as possible with limited people and resources.
　Depending on the urgency and severity of injured, etc., it is necessary to determine the order of treatment and transportation, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
Let's know the location of medical institutions in the area from around 2 days.
3 If you can walk, consult a nearby clinics with the "up flag" during "medical treatment".
