Abstract
<p> The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 caused enormous damage in Japan, and various studies have been conducted on the actual damage and its reduction. Hypothermia in cold weather disaster is discussed as a new issue to be considered in tsunami disaster. In this study, the hypothermia based on the location of the bodies in the zip code area of Miyagi Prefecture using the data of the disaster were examined to investigate the actual damage of hypothermia in the disaster. The analysis of the location information of the victims indicated that they may have developed hypothermia indoors at the evacuation site. The analysis of the flooding situation in the area where the hypothermia victims were found indicated that they may have developed hypothermia due to the wetness of their bodies caused by the exposure to the tsunami. As a new hypothesis of hypothermia risk, a case in which a person whose body was wet by the tsunami develops hypothermia indoors at an evacuation site was presented, and the importance of taking measures against hypothermia at evacuation sites was demonstrated.</p>
