Description

The Great East Japan Earthquake gave the serious damage to the northeastern 3 prefectures and to the neighborhood. After earthquake disaster outbreak, we made prototype of a corrugated box portable bed (CBPB) to prevent hypothermia and to help refugees on March 20th, 2011. It was recognized that CBPB was effective in prevention of economy-class syndrome, respiratory tract disease and disuse syndrome. Then we offered about 3,000 CBPB to northeastern 3 prefectures, Nara and Wakayama prefecture. CBPB was made with the height that legs sticks to the ground well, is not necessary of special tool for making and is able to use for about 6 months. CBPB has many advantages such as prevention of daily life activity decrease, relief of mental stress and reduction of dust aspiration. We inspected the Italian north earthquake 2012, and marquees and pipe beds were arranged promptly at those refuges. For emergent supply of CBPB we have pushed forward the making agreement of disaster prevention with self-governments. Sentences of CBPB were firstly added to the law of disaster prevention master plan. Stop the sleeps in a huddle! We will learn this lesson in future and want to make an effort to improve of refuge quality as the corrugated fiberboard industry practitioner.
