AboutAbout the lab
Supporting a disaster-resilient society through medicine and education.
The International Cooperation for Disaster Medicine Lab aims to strengthen the capabilities of people working in medicine, public health, and welfare so that society can remain resilient to disasters.
The lab is part of the International Research Institute of Disaster Science at Tohoku University.
The institute was established as a research institute dedicated to disasters, and it was the first to include the field of disaster medicine.
The lab names two missions: standardizing disaster coordinators, who coordinate medical response during disasters, across Japan, and having healthcare professionals learn how to respond to disasters.
On the greeting page, Prof. Egawa states that whether a hospital can restore its functions after a disaster depends heavily on the business continuity plan it has made in advance.
