Analysis of the Revenue Structure of Support Groups for Victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake

Abstract

The Great East Japan Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, the assistance to victims has been carried out in various ways until now. Both private and public, a number of funds have been contributed to the assistance. Leveraging the funds, support groups for victims operated and were established. Because there was a lot of funds for three years from the earthquake happening, without consideration of business continuity, support groups could operate. Since the funds were reduced now, the continuity of support groups has become a critical issue of the disaster recovery. This paper analyzes the result of the questionnaire about the revenue structure of support groups, and discusses the necessary measures to continue the supports.
