Typhoon No. 15 (Faxai) caused great damage to Chiba Prefecture. In this disaster, damage to lifelines such as power outages, water outages, and interruptions in telephone and mobile phones were severe. Furthermore, since the temperature was high immediately after the disaster, there was concern about health damage to the older adults. However, we hardly had known the disaster situation of the older adults at home. Therefore, we conducted a survey of the Community Comprehensive Support Center in order to clarify their damage situation. As a result, it became clear that power outages and interruptions in medical and long-term care services influence the continuation of home life for the older adults.
