trator. And (5) Troublesome tasks to dispose waste and litter that DMATs produced.We have considered and resolved these emerging issues. Results: During a large-scale disaster, the agency that presides over various organizations discussion of policies is required. Handover of duties should be determined by such an agency. The point of time of ending the activities should be defined at an earlier time. If existing DMATs are exhausted, headquarters has to request the government to send reinforcements. Equipment that DMATs did not use, and the waste and litter that DMAT made, should be carried back, basically because it is awkward to handle the unwanted material in the stricken area. In addition, they may cause unnecessary confusion. Over-dependence on the Internet consumed time to directly communicate with, and hindered opportunities to, understand the strategy of chief administrator. Conclusion: There are some important points for DMATs to take into consideration when the headquarters is closed.
