How to grasp various needs
Listening to those other than leaders, too
Until external assistance is welcomed
External organizations from outside and
dispatched public officers from other local
government s cannot s tar t act i v i t i es
immediately at evacuation centers and within
temporary housing communities. Assistance
is sometimes rejected even after registering
with local government at affected areas. It is
decided by the affected people themselves
whether they need assistance or not. If there
is no need, it is proper that assistance be
rejected. However, how do they know there is
a need? Who judges the need?
A Leader’s decision?
A member from a legal assistance group went
to evacuation centers and explained how to
conduct legal consultations with a brochure,
which plainly explained the content of such
consultations and what kind of problems
could be discussed. It also included a video
clip, which showed how to conduct a legal
consultation. However, a leader of the
evacuation center thought it unnecessary and
rejected their activities.
A district nurse dispatched for health
consultations from another local government
outside of the affected area could not conduct
her work because a leader at an evacuation
center thought a health consultation was
unnecessary. She wondered if the decision
reflected all evacuees’ conditions.
Matching up various types of support and
putting them together
Whether outside supporters can undertake
activities at evacuation centers seemed to
depend on a small number of people, or even
one person who voluntarily manages support
activities. In order to ascertain the needs of
various people, particularly those who have
difficulty in raising their voices, it should not
depend on a single leader’s decision as to
which assistance is needed. It is necessary to
create a system that can match up various
needs from affected people, collected and
disclosed by local governments, with available
assistance.
