Many people do not know the difference between “Hisai” certificate 「被災(ひさい)証明」 and “Risai”
certificate 「罹災(りさい)証明」, although they both seem similar, as proof of suffering from a disaster.
The head of the Ibaraki ＮＰＯ Center Commons, Mr. Yokota Yoshihiro, will explain the difference.
Ｑ：What is the difference between “Hisai” certificate 「被災(ひさい)証明書」 and “Risai” certificate 「り災証明書」?
Ａ：They are both certificates to prove that one has suffered from a natural disaster, and have received
damage from it. This is certified by the city, and is necessary for applying for various support andexemptions.
“Hisai” Certificate 「り災証明」：”Hisai” certificate is used to prove that the house and householdbelongings (for example, furniture) has suffered considerable damage. After applying for this certificate, acity official will visit the house to confirm the damage, to assess it as total destruction (全壊), largescale destruction (大規模半壊), and partial destruction (半壊). If confirmed, certificate will be issued.
“Risai” Certificate 「被災証明」：”Risai” certificate is used to prove that a person has suffered injury,
regardless if major or minor injury. For example, this certificate will help in the case the person wishes totake time off from the work.
Ｑ：How to obtain these certificates?
Ａ：Currently, Joso city office and Ishige branch office are accepting
applications for both “Hisai” and “Risai” certificates. Application forms there
should be filled out over there. Applications are being accepted between 8:30
to 17:15. Currently because there are many people applying, it will take morethan one month from application before receiving the certificate. Because of
the long processing time, It is recommended to apply as soon as possible.
In addition, by only receiving these certificates, that does not mean that money will be also be received.
For insurance payment and support money from fire insurance plan, “Risai” and “Hisai” certificates will
be necessary. In addition, in applications for special treatment in regards to government support, forwork, or for school, these certificates are usually accepted.
