Management and Challenges of 1.5 Shelters (Mid-Term Shelters) in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake

Abstract

This paper focuses on the 1.5 shelters (mid-term shelters) established as temporary accommodation facilities for wide-area secondary evacuation during the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in January 2024. After an overview of the managing body, support provided, management methods, and changes in the number of residents, we report on two operational issues, namely, the management of evacuation centers by the prefectural government and the sharing of care-related information, to provide insight into the management of shelters in future disasters.
