The damage assumption of the Nankai Trough mega-earthquake has been updated.
Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures
There is a special page called “Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures” in charge of disaster prevention at the Cabinet Office.
This time, I will write based on the information posted on the page.
Nankai Trough Earthquake Countermeasures Working Group
There is a Working Group (WG) to consider countermeasures against the Nankai Trough mega-earthquake.
Ten years have passed since the formulation of the Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Measures Promotion Basic Plan in March, and this WG was established to conduct full-scale consideration for the review of the Basic Plan.
The first meeting was held on April 4, 2023. In addition to the committee members, Minister Tani, Deputy Minister Hoshino, Mr. Sakaki, Policy Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Kamimura, Deputy Secretary-General, are in attendance.
The WG members are as follows. The text may not be accurate due to the use of automatic translation.

Scene
This time, there were three types of targets: “Winter / Midnight”, “Summer / Daytime”, “Winter / Evening”.
Winter and late night
- Many people are affected while sleeping at home, so there is a high risk of deaths from house collapses, and evacuations from the tsunami are delayed.
- There are few residences in offices and downtown areas, as well as railway and road users.
- The indoor residence population is almost constant in the middle of the night to early morning hours
Summer and Lunch
- There are many people who are staying in offices, downtown areas, etc., and there are many cases where there are cases of damage outside the home.
- The number of people staying in wooden buildings is small in the day, and the number of deaths due to the collapse of old wooden houses is small compared to scene one.
- The residence population in the wooden building is almost constant from 10 o’clock to 15 o’clock in the afternoon
- There are many tourists, including swimmers, in coastal areas.
Winter and evening
- It is the time when the use of fires is most often used in houses and restaurants, and the number of fires is the largest.
- In addition to offices and downtown areas, there are many people who have stayed at the terminal station.
- Railways and roads are also almost close to the rush to return home, and the impact of human casualties and obstruction of traffic functions is significant.

Disaster-related deaths
This time, for the first time, disaster-related death data was shown.

The table above translates as follows.
Item | Disaster Victims and Evacuees |
---|---|
Vulnerable health as a percentage of shelter evacuees after one week | primary nursing care: 265,000 incurable disease: 53,000 pregnant woman: 80,000 |
Inpatients who cannot respond to medical care | 155,000 |
Patients requiring transfer | 54,000 |
Inpatients in hospitals that are flooded for long periods of time | 3,400 |
Dialysis Patients Suffering from Lifeline Disruption | 120,000 |
Patient on home ventilator suffers power outage | 6,700 |
I don’t know if it’s right as data, but I think it makes sense to have a guide. The description of the data is as follows.
- Number of certified caregivers, intractable diseases, and pregnant women:
- Among the results of the calculation of “sensitive persons”, it is considered that it is particularly likely to lead to danger of life
- Number of medically incompetent (hospitalization):
- It is the result of the calculation of “medical function hindrance”, and the number of people who can not be accepted in the hospital bed where there was no damage among the hospitalized patients before the disaster and those who were seriously injured in the earthquake (including those who died at medical institutions)
- Number of patients in the hospital:
- The number of people who can not be continuously hospitalized at the medical institution that was hospitalized before the accident is calculated at the time of calculation of “medical function hindrance”
- Number of hospitalized patients at medical institutions likely to be long-term water-capped:
- Among the medical institutions that are flooded by the tsunami, the number of hospitalized patients in the low-level area (areas with lower altitude and difficult drainage than the surrounding area)
- Number of dialysis patients encountering lifeline damage:
- Number of dialysis patients encounter power outages or water outages
- Number of home ventilators encounter power outages:
- The number of home ventilator users who encounter a power outage is aggregated according to the presence or absence of battery equipment
The second item, “Insufficient medical capacity (hospitalization)” is an important number related to “medical care in times of disaster” that we are focusing on.
Until now, it is thought that the regional disaster prevention plan formulated by the local government has not mentioned patients who have been hospitalized even before the disaster. Since medical care in peacetime is a private business, and in some respects, it is the pursuit of profit, so each hospital is responsible for dealing with hospitalized patients after the disaster, which is an extension of that, but at the same time, there were many medical institutions that were forced to take on the challenge of accepting the injured that occurred in the area.
Although it is a rough figure of 15.5 million people, it is thought that considerable preparation is necessary because the number of people who are judged to be hospitalized is overflowing with 15.5 million people.
Disaster-related deaths of children and people in medical care
I believe that the estimated that one-third of dialysis patients will encounter lifeline damage will be dealt with by related organizations such as the Dialysis Medical Association and the Dialysis Medical Association.
At our company, we conduct simulations assuming lifeline disruptions and make presentations at academic conferences. I believe that it is necessary to clarify the hazard risks faced by dialysis in the affected areas and to take sufficient measures.
I think that it will be useful for patients if you can think about the way of support dialysis.

Damages were also made for patients with home-based ventilator therapy.
The maximum number of home ventilators who encounter power outages is “up to about six,700”, and it is estimated that those who do not have a battery are “up to about three thousand people”.
The number of patients estimated by the company is about twenty thousand, and one-third of them are affected by the disaster. The dialysis patients mentioned above were also a third.

If you look at the number of patients without a battery, it may be the number of affected patients including CPAP.
We conduct simulations and consulting aimed at patients with a type of ventilator who is involved in a life-threat crisis if the ventilator does not operate.
Sleep apnea syndrome is also life-related in the long run, but it is not a match for several hours, so it is removed from focus.
It is important to keep individual patients away from life-threatening, and I believe that the number of thousands of people is large or small will change depending on their preparation.

There are other reports of “caregivers” as well. It seems that the “intractable disease patients” also include patients with a ventilator, but I think that I also have a physical disability certificate, so I do not know where it belongs and whether it is double counted.

Medical functions
Medical institutions in the disaster-stricken areas are affected by damage to buildings and lifelines, while the ability to provide medical care is declining due to the damage and failure of buildings and lifelines, but the supply-demand balance is greatly disrupted due to the frequent number of injuries and the demand for medical care increases.
If the safety of hospitalized patients is not maintained due to the damage of the medical institution, it will be necessary to transfer to the hospital.
In this damage assumption, the expression “the number of patients who are difficult to respond in the affected prefectures” is used to describe the damage, but in the first place, there are few cases where the government specifically entrusts and requests to medical institutions due to the cost, and medical management in peacetime is also in a difficult situation, and I think that it is a reality that it is not possible to deal with new cases of disasters unless it is a disaster base hospital or a municipal hospital.
Therefore, it may be a poor environment because it is already a difficult situation, not a deterioration that “it is difficult to respond”.
As the situation of sleeping small fish in the gymnasium for decades, the medical provision system will not be able to escape serious situations unless a fundamental change comes, as long as the situation where evacuation centers are located in the gymnasiums, the situation of sleeping small fish, will not be resolved.
The worst cases in each region this time are as follows.
Damaged nuclear comfort | Inadequate hospitalization response | Lack of external response. |
---|---|---|
Tokai region | 155,000 people | 223,000 people |
Kinki region | 153,000 people | 217,000 people |
Shikoku region | 148,000 people | 215,000 people |
Kyushu region | 148,000 people | 215,000 people |

It is reasonable to say that there are overwhelmingly many “earthquakes” as many as 2,109, “tsunami” as 1.790s, and evacuation as 1,564s as much as possible.
I don’t know if it’s better to see whether it’s better to see six “dialysis”s, five respirations, six suctions, and three oxygens as few.
There are thirty-four “hospitalizations” but “operations” are zero. Since there is an assumption that “summer / noon” this time, it is normal that surgery is being performed, but it seems that it did not enter into the assumption.
Disaster Waste and Public Health
Disaster waste is a problem every time a disaster occurs, but it is one of the information that fades when it is at the stage of subsequent transmission.
It is difficult to understand even if you look at the figure of hundreds of millions of tons, and in general, municipalities operate garbage disposal plants, so the problem varies depending on the processing capacity of each municipality.
The Cleanland waste incineration facility in Itami-shi, Toyonaka City, has a processing capacity of 525tons/day (175tons/day). If it works eight hours a day, it stays sixteen hours. In other words, it is estimated that there is a residual capacity of 1,050tons/day. There is a hypothesis that it can process about three hundred and eighty thousand tons in a year, but I think that it is not actually possible to operate at full capacity, so I think it is tens of thousands tons.
The number of vehicles related to transportation when consigned to other cities is unknown. Packer cars often seen in the city need to travel for about two tons of loading capacity, five thousand tonnes, and fifty round trips for one hundred cars for transportation of ten thousand tons.

In March 2025, when I visited the Sendai3.11 Memorial Exchange Center in Miyagi Prefecture, we held a special exhibition “Life, After, and Beyond – “Garbage” and Disaster-“.

Details of the original.
In this article, I was able to list the contents that I read.
In reality, it is necessary to narrow down the target area and implement BCP and BCM based on the damage assumption.
If it is a private home, assuming how much support and relief society will provide, I think that it is necessary to strengthen self-help if it seems that it is not very likely that assistance can be expected.
Please refer to the original for details.
