Our purpose is to clarify the present conditions of medical aid stations (triage area and medical-examination area) for the taking in of casualties at the time of a seismic disaster and to examine requests concerning construction and necessary equipment, based on hearings with 34 key disaster institutes throughout Japan. From a series of analyses, we evaluated the current conditions for setting up medical first-aid stations in each hospital and determined requirements and factors for disaster casualty intake that should be considered at the time of institution design.
