Abstract

 At the time of a large-scale earthquake disaster, elderly people and those with physical and mental disabilities have the problem of having a great difficulty in actions that are necessary at times of disasters such as evacuation behaviors as compared with healthy subjects. Therefore, we used the national health insurance database which is medical big data for Komatsu city in Ishikawa prefecture, and the person requiring evacuation action grasped in detail “how many people live in what kind of area” and grasped whether those people can evacuate to evacuation centers. As a result, it was revealed that the earthquake swayed more than 6 seismic intensity in the northwestern part of the central area of Komatsu city, and it was clear that there was a high possibility that about 300 evacuation support requiring persons were affected by the region depending on the region. Moreover, in the central area, there was a lot of the person requiring evacuation action who can evacuate to welfare evacuation centers beyond the capacity of welfare evacuation centers and there are many the person requiring evacuation action who can not evacuate in designated evacuation centers in the suburbs.
