Abstract
The latest Hanshin-Awaji great earthquake gave us many important lessons for the benefit of medical antidisaster planning. In this article we would propose some basic ideas for antidisaster plan, and suggest to introduce the disastermedicine in this country.
The hospital must be tolerant agaist any types of disaster and function as a shelter for injured sufferers. All logistics of hospital administration must be provided based on the role of multi-dispersed style which is consisted with multiple sources (energies, savings, personnels, etc.) and plural routes (deliveries, transmissions, communications, etc) instead of mono-style which is a standard in this society.
All antidisaster systems should be used as a part of daily activity to maintain and improve themselvs. Once the disaster occured, an agreement for mutual assistance among hospitals and the supportive activity of volunteers groups may effectively compensate the antidisaster systems.
In this country, the disaster medicine is not established yet. We need really it to support and develop the antidisaster plans.
