What are the activities of the
Flying Search and Medical Team in disaster-stricken areas?

We, the Flying Search and Medical Team, are a team of medical-centered disaster emergency support projects that quickly rush to areas affected by large-scale disasters and carry out rescue and lifesaving activities. Right after our arrival at the affected areas, we collaborate with local governments, hospitals, NPOs, companies, as well as the Self-Defense Forces and fire departments, to optimally provide necessary support, from immediate rescue and life-saving activities to distribution of supplies, evacuation center management, and medium- to long-term recovery support.

In the disaster-stricken areas, we utilize our experience and strengths of Mobility, Expertise, and Logistics Capabilities in order to carry out activities while valuing our feelings of compassion for disaster-stricken people.

What are the activities of the Flying Search and Medical Team
in disaster-stricken areas?

Peace Winds Japan, a specified non-profit organization that operates the Flying Search and Medical Team, is an NGO that supports people exposed to humanitarian crises and livelihood crises caused by natural disasters, conflicts, poverty, and other human-caused factors both domestically and internationally. So far, we have been active in 34 countries and regions around the world. After the launch of the Flying Search and Medical Team “ARROWS,” we have been active and always quickly responding to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and typhoons that have occurred frequently in recent years, responding also to the new coronavirus infection, by providing large-scale support centered on medical care.

What makes such activities possible is our “Mobility.” Utilizing transportation methods such as airplanes, helicopters, and ships, we respond to all kinds of needs which come out after a disaster, including dispatching doctors, nurses, rescue dog teams, and rescue personnel. We aim to provide quick and effective support that is only possible through the private sector.
