Thousands of houses were lost. More than ten thousands are said to be killed. Given the rather chilly weather of the damaged area, food, medicine, blankets and shelters are crucial needs for the victims. Civic Force, Japan's leading NGO in disaster response and relief,dispatched the helicopter-emergency teams immediately to the field to grasp the situation and delivered first rescue goods. Civic Force was the first rescue NGO on the ground. Based on the survey, we identified the most affected and vulnerable area and started to help people. We are impressed to see how the victims show willingness to shares care food and water, and to help others even if they themselves lost families. We will do our best to help as many people as possible. Your support will definitely encourage those people.

mission: Civic Force (emergency response team) responds to large scale natural disasters in Japan, and is established for realizing of more effective and prompt disaster relief by cooperating closely with NGOs, business community and government of Japan. onishiStart of Civic Force was originated from our experience from Niigata Earthquake of 2004. I went to the stricken area as a manager of NGO to offer large shelters which accommodated more than 400 people. However, communication between local governments was not smooth and took a few days to be registered as an official evacuation camp. As an unregistered camp we received neither information nor resources. On the other hand, we have cooperated with major supermarket and distributed the ration which was successful. This episode made me reaffirm how large the power of the corporation under disaster relief. If the disaster relief associated organizations are in close contact with each other normally and be prepared for the disaster relief by confirming the plans for emergency, smooth action can be taken and be able to respond to people’s needs when there is an actual strike. Civic Force is the organization that manages and coordinates such preparation, taking the role of “Platform” where information, manpower, funds and resources are gathered. Through information exchange and emergency drill, we strive for solidifying each other’s trust and relationship, enabling optimum action and rational decisions even in confusion of emergency. We also put great emphasis on introducing our idea to East and Southeast Asian countries, frequent victim of natural disaster, to organize a disaster relief “Platform” where NGOs, business community, and government to cooperate. In future, if those “Platforms” could link up, aid reception from foreign countries get easier and more resources would be available for disaster relief. Serving the people that are victim of large scale disaster that might be striking in near future is the important mission for NGOs. We still strive for immediate response and try to save as much people as possible.
