Maintaining health-care access after major disasters is imperative. While disaster support can be deployed rapidly, 1 on-site staff must begin responding before their arrival and continue working for the long term. Thus, their actions are vital to ensuring health-care access for affected populations. Notably, continuing hemodialysis is a main concern. However, how on-site hospital staff can provide support after disasters remains little studied, particularly with regard to hemodialysis.On October 12, 2019, Typhoon Hagibis struck Japan, killing more than 80 people (Figure 1). Soma Central Hospital (Soma, Fukushima Prefecture) is located 40 km north of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. At Soma Central Hospital, 70 patients regularly receive hemodialysis, 30-40 patients per day, which requires 18 tons of water daily. After the typhoon, the hospital was hit by floods. Despite damage to some outdoor facilities, the patients, staff, and dialysis equipment were maintained.., the destruction of the water supply system prevented normal water delivery.
