It has been reported that relief supplies did not reach the victims in a timely manner in many disasters. Although various solutions to this problem have been studied and implemented, it is still a problem. In this study, we focused on three earthquakes: the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, and reviewed the problems pointed out in each disaster and the changes in their solutions. As a result, we found that many of the same problems have been point-ed out since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. To solve them, it is necessary to incorporate the per-spective of business practices in normal distribution, which has not been taken into consideration in hu-manitarian logistics, and to clarify who is responsible for each.
