日赤では、自然災害などと同様に、大規模災害発生時や発生の恐れがある場合は災害救護実施対策本部を本社や被災地の支部に設置し救護体制をとります。これに加えて原子力災害の場合は、救護班の被災地への派遣を行う前に、本社および支部に緊急被ばく医療アドバイザーを配置し、適切な対応が可能な体制を構築します。
また、国際赤十字・赤新月社連盟、政府や自治体、国際機関、国内外の専門機関や研究機関などと情報交換や連携を行いながら、原子力災害対応のための体制強化を図っています。
As well as in the event of natural disasters, if a large-scale disaster has occurred or is likely to occur, the JRCS sets up headquarters of disaster control at its National Headquarters and a chapter in the affected area to start relief activities. In addition, in the event of a nuclear disaster, prior to dispatching relief teams to the affected area, radiation emergency medical care advisors are supposed to be sent to the National Headquarters and the affected chapter to set up arrangements so that the JRCS can respond to the disaster appropriately.
By sharing information/collaborating with the IFRC, the national and local governments, international organizations, specialized organizations and research institutions in/outside Japan, the JRCS has strengthened its structure to respond to nuclear disasters.
