Outline of Final Research Achievements

More than 200,000 Brazilian people lived in Japan in 2010. Living in Japan is not easy for them due to differences of language and cultural background. Aim of this study is to clarify their experience, health condition and emergency preparedness following the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent nuclear power plant accident on March 11, 2011 to discuss an intervention program to build a resilient community considering diversity.
Subjects were adult Brazilian people living in Kanto and inland area in Japan and experienced Great East Japan Earthquake. Most of them stayed in their own car with their Brazilian relatives or friends after the earthquake. Many of them experienced electricity outage and feared radioactive contamination. Even three years has elapsed from the earthquake, they had symptoms of PTSD. It is suggested that the intervention program should include existing Brazilian personal network and utilize it integrating Japanese citizens and social resources.
