It is expected that hospitals, especially base hospitals for disaster medicine have to accept a number of injured persons in a short period after an occurrence of big earthquake. The situation will be serious enough to maintain medical care function in these hospitals because of structural and nonstructural, including life lines, damages in the area. The aim of the study is to explore effective ways to cope with the situation.
Questionnaire survey was carried out to all the base hospitals in Japan asking their precautions and preparation to mitigate the damages and to keep medical function in disastrous situation.
