The central disaster prevention council have pointed out the possibility of an earthquake directly below Tokyo metropolitan that would cause enormous damage to around Tokyo Bay. The damage estimates show that about 610,000 houses were completely destroyed and burned, with a maximum of 23,000 dead and a maximum of 72,000 casualties. Although measures against the earthquake have been elaborated in dealing with survivors, dealing with those who have died has not yet been sufficiently studied. For the deceased, it is necessary to have a solemn condolence without distinguishing between them, and it is necessary for disaster management to consider countermeasures.
In this study, from the viewpoint of civil engineering, based on wide-area crematories currently under study, we pointed out problems with the treatment capacity and spatial locations of crematoriums in consideration of the earthquake directly below the capital and proposed measures to improve disaster management.
