Abstract
Because future occurrence of flood damage and sediment disasters is feared to result from the influences of climate change, voluntary work by professionals who assist survivors during and after wide-scale disasters is extremely important. Voluntary work by professionals’ activities and tasks to be resolved for effective future support actions must be clarified. Therefore, we specifically examined the Liaison Meeting of Professionals Including House Inspectors, Real-Estate Appraisers and the like for Hiroshima Prefecture Reconstruction Support.
They administered survivor assistance in cooperation with the disaster volunteer center and a regional mutual support center in Hiroshima prefecture, where severe damage by heavy rains occurred in July 2018. Study results obtained from a questionnaire survey quantitatively clarified actual conditions of survivor assistance and elucidated points to be resolved before future activities.
