Building Damage Assessment of the buildings damaged by the Earthquake and tsunami off the Pacific Coast of North-Eastern Japan
27 March, 2011
To assess the extent of damage caused to buildings by the earthquake and tsunami that hit the Pacific Coast of North Eastern Japan, Sendai City is conducting a ‘Building Damage Assessment’ and we request all residents to cooperate with the following guidelines.
In case of repair or demolition of the building
In case you are getting repairs done or tearing down the building before our officials come for the inspection, kindly ensure that you have the following ready for verification so that the extent of damage can be verified even at that later date.
1. Photographs showing the damage status before the repairs.
（1）photographs showing a full view of the damaged building
（if possible take pictures which show the full view from all four sides）
（2）photographs showing the condition of the areas which have been damaged
（roof, pillars, outer wall, inner wall, fittings, foundation, flooring, ceiling, facilities etc）
2. The estimate and the detailed statements of the repair or demolition
3. Other documents which can be of reference to confirm the damage status.
What is Building Damage Assessment?
1. Building Damage Assessment is an inspection carried out by Sendai City authorities based on national standards, to assess the extent of building damage (completely or partially-destroyed etc.).
*Note- The inspection for this assessment is different from the previous “emergency safety check,” which was to evaluate the degree of risk for damaged buildings.
2. Since the devastation caused by the earthquake disaster is severe, it will take time to visit and inspect individually. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
3. We will notify you later of formalities of the Disaster victim Certificate (Risai shoumeiり災証明a certificate issued when we confirm the degree of the damage to housing caused by the disaster) and the Disaster victim notification certificate (Risai todokede shoumeiり災届出証明 a certificate issued to certify your report of damage other than that to housing.)
