About support project for people requiring assistance during a disaster

In the event of a major disaster, it is difficult to evacuate to a safe place with the help of yourself or your family when a major disaster occurs, and there are people who need help from people around them (persons requiring assistance during a disaster).
reduce disaster damage believes that efforts to achieve "reduce disaster damage"self support, community support, and government support.reduce disaster damage.
Above all, the power of "community support" is indispensable for efforts such as safety confirmation and evacuation support in the event of a disaster.
Totsuka Ward will provide various forms of support for people requiring assistance in the event of a disaster, and will work with the local community toward "resilient to disasters."

First of all, we will create a cooperative system with the main body and related organizations working on support for people requiring assistance.
There may be ways to focus on existing neighborhood associations, such as Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations and disaster prevention organizations, or to recruit new members. Let's consider where the subject will be the subject according to the local situation.

There are many ways to identify people in need of assistance in the area.
Totsuka Ward provides a list of people requiring assistance as one of the ways to identify people requiring assistance.

Through greetings and calls, let's make a relationship with those who need assistance on a daily basis.
In addition, it is important for those who need assistance to participate in and participate in local initiatives as much as possible, such as joining the circle of community support and working on building relationships, and participating in local disaster drill.

About personal information of person requiring assistance that we grasped in approach.

• When acquiring personal information, decide the purpose of what to use it for and convey it to the person.
• Do not use personal information for any purpose other than the specified purpose.
• When handing personal information to a third party, obtain the consent of the individual.

We will comply with such rules and manage them appropriately.
In addition, in the event of an emergency, such as when there is a danger to the life or body of the person, information can be provided to a third party without consent.
The balance between protection and utilization of personal information is important. If you understand the rules correctly and treat them carefully, you will lead to community development where you can live with peace of mind.
