About medical care at the time of disaster

It is expected that many injured people will come to a medical institution at once for consultation.
In order to save as many people as possible, medical institutions depending on the degree of urgency and severity of injuries.
You will have to decide the order of treatment and transportation (triage).
The Konan Ward disaster preparedness plan categorizes medical institutions by severe, moderate, and mild illness, depending on the situation of injury.

In the event of a large-scale disaster, treatment of severely ill people must be given priority to the treatment of severely ill people in order to save as many lives as possible.
In Yokohama City, disaster base hospitals provide treatment for severely ill patients, but to concentrate on the treatment and to avoid confusion.
If you are mild, please consult a doctor in clinics, etc., where injured can be accepted.

Check your local medical institution and evacuation shelter location in case of a disaster.

※There are two types of flags for "in medical treatment": red and yellow.
The red flag is raised when medical treatment is possible by a disaster base hospital, etc., which is responsible for accepting severely ill patients.
The yellow flag is shown by hospitals that accept patients with moderate disabilities and clinics, which is responsible for accepting mildly ill patients.
It is listed when medical treatment is possible.
(Depending on clinics, treatment may not be possible due to its expertise.)

When judging the urgency / severity, select the consultation destination as follows.

In the event of an injury during a disaster, we will use it as a guide to determine the degree of urgency and severity in the event of a disaster.
"Is it possible to walk on my own even if I was injured by a disaster?"
Let's make a decision. This is based on the first step of the START method (*).
(* START method: One of the criteria for determining priority of injured, etc. in disaster medical care)

When judging the urgency / severity, select the consultation destination as follows.

A Those who can no longer walk on their own due to injury due to a disaster can be judged as "severe or moderate".

Among them, those who are particularly likely to be life-threatening (decreased consciousness, shallow breathing, lack of pulse, cold limbs, etc.
If you are seriously bleeding, etc.) can be judged to be "severe", so select a disaster base hospital as the consultation destination.

For other people, choose the emergency hospital as the consultation destination.

B Those who can walk on their own even if they are injured due to a disaster can be judged to be "mild".
Select the clinics (with a yellow flag) that can accept the injured.

For those with chronic illness or those with disabilities, refer to the above "List of consultation destinations by urgency and severity" above.
Select a consultation destination according to each symptom and condition.
