1995年1月17日凌晨，世界最大港口城市之一的科比及其附近地区发生里氏7.2级的所谓“浅源直击”型地震。共造成6308人死亡，约3.5万人受伤。约有40万间房屋和建筑物受到不同程度的破坏，大面积停电、停水和城市煤气供应中断。医疗设施也遭到严重破坏。公路、高速公路、桥梁和铁路的破坏使人们难以在该地区内移动。发生了严重的交通堵塞。电话线被切断或超负荷。于是，人们习以为常的现代健康城市生活，一下子就失去了。对这场灾难的紧急反应落后了。由于通讯中断，交通堵塞，将重伤病人从灾区运送到非灾区并不顺利。报告了灾害的破坏范围、受伤类型、受害者的特征、在这次灾害中遇到的紧急医疗问题以及灾后执行的对策的修改。
One of the world's largest port cities, Kobe and its vicinity, was hit by a so-called "shallow and direct hit" type earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 on the Richter scale in the early morning of January 17, 1995. A total of 6308 people were killed and approximately 35,000 people were injured. About 400,000 houses and buildings were more or less damaged, and electricity, water, and city gas supply were suspended in a wide area. Medical facilities were also greatly damaged. The destruction of roads, highways, bridges, and railways made it difficult for people to move within this area. Extraordinary traffic congestion occurred. Telephone lines were disconnected or overloaded. Thus, the modern healthy urban lives that the people had taken for granted were lost in a moment. Emergency responses to the disaster fell behind. Transportation of severely injured patients away from the disaster area to the non-affected area was not smooth because of the interruption of communications and traffic congestion. The scope of the damage from the disaster, types of injuries, characteristics of the victims, problems with emergency medical care encountered in this disaster, and revisions of countermeasures executed after the disaster are reported.
