Also, a number of problems associated with the life of affected people occurred, such as housing, social and health services, environment, employment, and industry. Based on the verification results of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, TMG recognized that a mechanism of mutual assistance is important for the reconstruction and created the “TMG Earthquake Disaster Reconstruction Manual” (March, 2003) to propose a mechanism for new mutual assistance. The manual consists of a “Reconstruction Policies and Measures Version,” which is a guidebook for the practical reconstruction operations for the responsible persons in administrative authorities and a “Reconstruction Process Version” in which various mechanisms to carry out the reconstruction by utilizing the strength of communities are proposed in order for the manual to become the affected people's action guideline.　If the affected areas due to an earthquake extend to a substantial radius and it is assumed to take a substantial amount of time to carry out the earthquake disaster reconstruction, TMG will set up the Reconstruction Headquarters.　The headquarters is to be set up early, such as about one week after the disaster. The headquarters will clearly show the vision for metropolitan Tokyo after the earthquake disaster reconstruction, the vision for metropolitan Tokyo citizens, the goals to accomplish in the Earthquake Disaster Reconstruction Plan, project policies, etc., and promote specific earthquake disaster reconstruction projects.　Prompt Issuance of Victim’s Certificate　The Victim's Certificate is a certificate issued by the municipal governments and states the confirmed degree of housing damage such as “Completely destroyed, large-scale partial destruction, medium-scale partial destruction, partial destruction, some damage, etc.” after examining the affected houses. It is widely used as a basis for determining the application of various support systems for affected people, such as monetary donations and the tax allowance.　TMG jointly developed a system to promptly issue Victim's Certificates with Kyoto University in FY2011 and has been supporting the municipal governments in introducing the system.50
