This paper is joint research with Dr. Masahide Koda of Kyushu University, Dr. Toshinori Saito of Kesennuma Motoyoshi Hospital, Dr. Hisashi Yoshimoto of Tsukuba University, and Dr. Atsushi Obata of Michinoku General Medical Center. All of us are members of the Disaster System Committee of JPCA.
By merging the two GIS data, we visualized the damage to primary care facilities in Miyazaki Prefecture during a Nankai Trough earthquake. In addition, we discussed feasible countermeasures based on damage assumptions.
