A number has been announced by the government's earthquake investigation committee that the Nankai Trough earthquake will occur 70 to 80% within 30 years. Of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Since then, the primary natural disaster alone Chuetsu Earthquake, the Chuetsu-Oki earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake, Kumamoto earthquake, and heavy rain this year, typhoon, to Hokkaido Iburi eastern earthquake, it has occurred indeed in Japan, many of the disasters. It seems like there is no doubt that many accidents will continue to strike Japan.
Disasters include natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and forest fires, and human tragedies such as terrorism and train and aircraft accidents, but in an emergency, depending on the scale and type, many lives and health Things happen to In the event of such a "disaster," medical care for "protecting the lives and health of the victims" is disaster medicine .
There are two significant causes of loss of life and damage to health due to disasters. The direct cause of an accident, such as being swept away by a tsunami or underlying a collapsed house, is called "direct disaster death".
On the other hand, although direct death was avoided, what is caused by various indirect factors such as subsequent long-term shelter life and lifestyle changes, or shaking of the mind in contact with the death of a familiar person We call it damage (disaster-related death). Recent studies have reported that there are a large number of “disaster-related health hazards (disaster-related deaths)” in many earthquake disasters.
Taking earthquake disasters as an example, daily disaster prevention measures before the occurrence of an earthquake such as “seismic structural work”, “a device that furniture does not collapse”, “confirmation of tsunami shelters” are effective for preventing direct disaster death. On the other hand, there are limited ways to protect yourself from "disaster direct death" after an earthquake has occurred. However, there are many things we can do after the disaster to protect ourselves from “disaster-related health hazards”. How do you protect your health in refuge life after the disaster? It will be serialised about the method.
