Isogo Ward Disaster Support Project for advocate

In Great East Japan Earthquake, elderly people accounted for a majority of victims, and the mortality rate of persons with disabilities is estimated to be about twice the mortality rate of all affected people. This trend is similar to large-scale disasters in the past, and there is an urgent need to strengthen efforts to support advocate in the event of a disaster.
The local community-based community support will play a major role in prompt safety confirmation and evacuation support for advocate. Considering the Great East Japan Earthquake as an example, it takes about three days after the disaster to start full-scale administrative activities, and most of the affected people are helped by neighbors or local people. I am. In order to enhance local disaster prevention capabilities, it is important to create relationships on a daily basis. Isogo Ward is promoting initiatives to support advocate in the event of a disaster.

In the event of a disaster such as an earthquake

• Those who have difficulty in grasping the necessary information alone and judging the situation
• Those who have difficulty evacuating to a safe place on their own

Examples include the elderly, disabled children / persons, infants, pregnant women, foreigners (those who have difficulty communicating in Japanese), etc.

There are generally the following steps to promote support for advocate in the event of a disaster:

1. Start of the initiative and discussions in the community
2. Securing leaders (supporters, etc.)
3. Understanding and updating information required for advocate
4. Land
   Watching in the region and creating relationships with people who can see each other
5. Efforts and trainings assuming a disaster

It is not necessarily at this stage, but it is important to decide the content and how to proceed with the initiative according to the local situation and continue to work.
