Purpose

This disaster response operations center is being established to promote information sharing and coordination of activities by organizations and entities involved in relief efforts for areas hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake, to enable them to coordinate efforts to the greatest degree possible.

Information sharing

  1. In order to achieve this objective, a group e-mail list will be set up for the operations center and collaborating organizations.
  2. The operations center will collect information related to current conditions and relief requests of areas affected by the disaster.
  3. Each group or organization will supply information on its current activities and future plans.
  4. The operations center will create a summary of information obtained in items 2. and 3. above, as well as information from the Tohoku relief efforts mailing list, and will work to foster effective information sharing and activity coordination between groups/organizations.
  5. The secretariat of the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology will, to the greatest possible extent, coordinate responses to problems and report on these efforts to both the disaster response operations center and collaborating organizations.
