Assessment of Emergency Medical Relief Services following the Taiwan Earthquake

a great earthquake occurred in Taiwan. A Japan Disaster Relief Team (JDR) was dispatched to Taiwan and treated casualties. It arrived at the scene on 22 September, 48 hours after the quake. The JDR convened at the Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters of Nantou Prefecture, received disaster information, and arranged our activities with them. The JDR was capable of starting its activities on the first day, but it took 3 days until final site for its activites was selected. During these 3 days, the site was moved 3 times in order to get the best site.
