1. Research Outcomes and Issues Identified by the Study Group

(1)Lack of coordination among obstetrical, disaster and emergency medical services. The staff in charge of perinatal care was not informed of the situation in shelters and communities.

(2)There is a need for establishing means for communicating information to pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as for systems for backing up obstetrical information (maternity record book, etc.).

(3)There is a significant difference among local governments in terms of their disaster preparedness in obstetrical medical service.

2. How we can support safe child delivery to build a community with HOPE?

(1)Train personnel so as to save the lives of pregnant women and nursing mothers right after the occurrence of a disaster.

(2)Establish specific means for communicating critical information to pregnant women and nursing mothers.

(3)Aid to pregnant women in shelters; coordination with local governments.

(4)Relevant parties must maintain a high-level disaster preparedness at all times, by continuously studying and examining ways of disaster management.
