On November 5, 2014, the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) held the FY 2014 First JRCS Nuclear Disaster Response Basic Training Session. This training is part of the JRCS's efforts to strengthen nuclear disaster response capabilities based on the lessons learned from the experience during the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. This training was held for the first time for relief team members which consist of physicians, radiological technologists, nurses and administrative staff working at Japanese Red Cross (JRC) hospitals throughout Japan and staff working at JRC chapters. Before this training, the meeting for medical personnel of JRC hospitals designated as radiation emergency hospitals was held and 17 physicians and radiological technologists who participated in the meeting served as instructors during this training session. The purpose of the training is to allow JRCS relief team members to acquire basic knowledge about radiation and radiation emergency medicine system so that they can engage in relief activities in a radiation environment in a safe and secure manner.
