Abstract
At the “Tachikawa Large-Scale Disaster Response Base”the disaster-related facilities of all relevant ministries and agencies have been stationed in a functional manner. In the event of a dis-aster the Base will act as a center, leading countermeasure activities, while the National Hospital Tokyo Disaster Medical Center will take charge of disaster-related medical care. During normal periods the Center will provide highly-advanced emergency medical care and comprehensive medical treatment, but will also commit itself to conducting clinical studies focusing on disaster-related medical care, as well as carrying out the education and training of medical practitioners, related health workers and the general public. In addition, the Center, as one of the core National Centers offering disaster-related medical care over a large-scale area, will make statements regarding its fundamental philosophy, function and role.
