How to get to a hospital in the event of a disaster?

Last update date April 1, 2023

In the event of a disaster, a large number of injured will be flooded with medical institutions, which can be very confused. It is important to have a consultation without confusion among limited medical institutions in the city.

  1. Be aware of the medical institutions in the area from normal times
  2. It is to determine which medical institution to visit according to the degree of urgency and severity.

Responses at evacuation centers

In evacuation shelter and evacuation centers, medical rescue squads provide medical care for mildly ill patients.
Medical rescue squads are organized by local doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc., and provide patrol or fixed-point medical care.

System for dialysis medical care in case of disaster

In the event of a small-scale disaster (a condition in which the local infrastructure is maintained and only some facilities are unable to perform dialysis medical care due to some kind of disability), we will respond in cooperation with nearby dialysis facilities. In the event of a large-scale disaster (a condition in which local infrastructure cannot be maintained), we will coordinate wide-area transport to Kanagawa Prefecture and other locations outside of affected areas.
