Evacuation Center Management

A mega disaster will result in an enormous number of evacuees staying in evacuation center for a significantly long time. This note describes how Japan managed its evacuation centers after the Great East Japan earthquake. It highlights important management issues, including: shortages of essential supplies and services; successful self-management practices initiated by the affected people themselves; good management practices by local governments; and the sensitivity required to accommodate diverse groups of evacuees with special needs. This report gives findings; lessons; and recommendations for developing countries.
