    Atsumi and Goltz: Fifteen Years of Disaster Volunteers International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters March 2014, Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 220–240. Fifteen Years of Disaster Volunteers in Japan: A Longitudinal Fieldwork Assessment of a Disaster Non-Profit Organization Tomohide Atsumi Graduate School of Human Sciences Osaka University and James D. Goltz California Emergency Management Agency and the California Institute of Technology Email: [email protected] Since the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) Earthquake, Japanese society has become accustomed to the presence of volunteers in the pre- and post-disaster environments, more specifically, in preparedness, response and recovery. The present study draws on the disaster research literature in exploring the social contexts in which groups of Kobe earthquake volunteers converged in January 1995 and formed organizations that continued to respond to national and international disasters during the 15 years that followed the 1995 earthquake. Based on the first author’s own longitudinal participant observation at a non-profit organization, the Nippon Volunteer Network Active in Disaster (NVNAD), the present study traces the development of the NVNAD over the last 15 years. The study’s basic conclusion is that, over the years, organized volunteerism in Japan has witnessed a struggle between the development of formal organizations emphasizing interagency cooperation and coordination of volunteers on one hand and the maintenance of a more affective social support-oriented approach with volunteers being physically and emotionally present to disaster survivors on the other. Keywords: Earthquake, Disaster volunteers 220 Atsumi and Goltz: Fifteen Years of Disaster Volunteers Introduction At 5:46 AM on Tuesday, January 17, 1995, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (henceforth called the Kobe earthquake) struck the regions of Hanshin and Awaji Island in Japan, claiming more than 6,400 lives and injuring more than 15,000 in a densely populated urban coastal corridor whose central city is Kobe.

Tokyo and Osaka, which are located 375 km and 750 km, respectively, from the epicenter, experienced tremors of 5.0 lower and 3.0 seismic intensity on the Japan Meteorological Agency scale. The Great East Japan Earthquake was the fourth largest earthquake in the world and was accompanied by a radioactive leak at a nuclear power plant and a tsunami. In the aftermath of a disaster, some affected individuals presented to mental health facilities with acute stress disorder (ASD) and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, few studies have addressed mental stress problems other than ASD or PTSD among the general public immediately after a disaster.

    Soka Gakkai International Office for UN Affairs Disaster Recovery and Youth, Peace and Security: Examining the Project, “The SOKA Global Action” A Thematic Paper for the Progress Study on Youth, Peace and Security Prepared by the Soka Gakkai International October 2017 Introduction In March 2011, the northeast region of Japan known as Tohoku1 was hit by a natural disaster of enormous magnitude: The Great East Japan Earthquake. The 9.0-magnitude earthquake, coupled with numerous aftershocks, a series of highly destructive tsunami waves and a nuclear reactor accident,2 claimed thousands of lives, while causing lasting damage to the surrounding communities and survivors of the atrocity. Even today, more than six years later, many continue to live in temporary housing and endure ongoing uncertainty about the future. The suffering this event engendered, including deaths, loss of loved ones and assets, and economic stagnation, forced many young people in A local band performs at a temporary housing unit in Japan to re-examine their values and ways of life. Miyagi Prefecture (2011) Against this backdrop, and coupled with other socio-political factors affecting people’s sense of 1 The Tohoku region is the northeastern part of the largest island (Honshu) of Japan, and consists of six prefectures: Akita, Aomori, Fukushima, Iwate, Miyagi and Yamagata. 2 The nuclear power plant accident has made the situation more complex, posing serious security and safety challenges including threats to people’s health and food production. Some evacuees are uncertain if they can ever return to their homes or where they will live in the future.

  • Lessons Learned from the Kobe Earthquake a Japanese Perspective
    SPECIAL REPORT Lessons Learned from the Kobe Earthquake A Japanese Perspective Hiroshi Muguruma This report presents an overview of the Ph.D. performance of reinforced and precast, Professor Emeritus Department of prestressed concrete buildings during the Architectural Engineering Kyoto University Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake (also known as Kyoto, Japan the Great Hanshin earthquake) of January 17, 1995, situated in and around the city of Kobe, Japan. The performance of pile foundations is also examined. Highway bridges, rapid transit structures, and other special structures are covered elsewhere. The assessment of damage is related to the Minehiro Nishiyama evolution of design code provisions for Ph.D. concrete building structures in Japan. Department of Preliminary reports indicate that precast, Architectural Engineering Kyoto University prestressed concrete structures performed Kyoto, Japan remarkably well during the earthquake, especially those designed with recent seismic code provisions. The probable causes of the damage are examined, although it should be emphasized that several investigations are currently being carried out to determine more comprehensive causes of structural failures Fumio Watanabe, Ph.D. by many researchers, engineers, the Professor Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ), the Department of Architectural Engineering Japan Prestressed Concrete Engineering Kyoto University Kyoto, Japan Association (JPCEA), and other organizations. 28 PCI JOURNAL t precisely 5:46 a.m. in the N early morning of January 17, A 1995, a devastating earthquake struck Japan, imparting a trail of de­ ® ~ Severely damaged area struction across a narrow band extend­ ing from northern Awaji Island through the cities of Kobe, Ashiya, Nishinomiya and Takarazuka (see Fig. 1).

  • 1 IOKIBE Makoto President, National Defense Academy of Japan
    KOKUSAI MONDAI (INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS) JAN-FEB 2012 ISSUE SPECIAL LEAD-OFF INTERVIEW RECOVERY FROM THE GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE ― TOWARD A JAPAN MORE OPEN TO THE WORLD ― IOKIBE Makoto President, National Defense Academy of Japan Interviewer: YAMAMOTO Yoshinobu Advisor, PHP Research Institute Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo The Great East Japan Earthquake and Japan – Reflecting on Past Disasters Yamamoto: I would like to begin by asking Mr. Makoto Iokibe, President of the National Defense Academy of Japan and recently Chairman of the Reconstruction Design Council in Response to the Great East Japan Earthquake, to comment on the significance the recent disaster had for Japanese history and for the Japanese people in light of his previous experience of the Great Hanshin Earthquake. Iokibe: The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 16 years ago struck at 5:46 am. I was still asleep when the entire house shuddered with a boom and awakened me, and I recall experiencing a shaking such as I had never felt before. My home was entirely destroyed, and the dismal state of houses and roads in our neighborhood testified to the ferocity of an epicentral earthquake. The most characteristic feature of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake was that 90% of the victims were crushed to death when their houses collapsed, a fact attributable to the time at which the earthquake struck. The remaining 10% or so of the 6,434 deaths were due to fire or other causes. The Great Kanto Earthquake [of 1923], on the other hand, was actually a sequence of three earthquakes. In addition, that earthquake struck at 11:58 am, and the flames from kitchen stoves heating up lunch were fanned by the strong wind into a tremendous conflagration.

EEFIT sent a team to the affected regions during the immediate aftermath of the event (May 29 – June 3, 2011) to learn lessons regarding the initial impacts of the disaster, and the findings are given in the 2011 EEFIT Japan Report (EEFIT 2011) available on the EEFIT website. Two years later EEFIT launched a return mission (May 28 – June 7, 2013) to examine the direction and progress of the recovery and reconstruction efforts in Japan.
