Conference on a Health and Lifestyle Support System for Citizens affected by the Disaster in Yamada Town, Iwate Prefecture
date : 2/18/2013
On the 24-25 of January 2013, HGPI Senior Associates Kazumi Kubota and Mariko Oyamada visited the town of Yamada in Iwate Prefecture in order to carry out consultations with government officials involved in the recovery on the subject of a health and lifestyle support system for citizens who were affected by the disaster. At the conference, the current status and issues within the support system for people living in temporary housing and partially destroyed housing was reconfirmed. Furthermore, building on the opinions exchanged in the town of Onagawa, Ishinomaki, in December 2012, the discussion was able to focus on the concrete means by which HGPI may be able to provide support to people who were affected by the disaster in future.
On the basis of this conference, the Health and Global Policy Institute will continue to provide support for the development of a more effective health and lifestyle support system for victims of the disaster.
