With the progress of population aging and population decline, the deterioration of disaster response capacity at the local government level has become an increasingly serious issue in Japan. Previous studies have pointed out that enhancing disaster response capacity requires multifaceted approaches, including technological solutions, human resources, and institutional and organizational frameworks. This study aims to contribute to the enhancement of disaster response capacity by describing the actual conditions of disaster response operations as explicit knowledge and by conducting an exploratory analysis to identify key issues in disaster response practices. Following the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, the housing damage assessment operations conducted in Himi City, Toyama Prefecture—one of the affected municipalities—gained attention as an advanced case of counterpart support, in which Himi City coordinated paired assistance and engineers with expertise in housing damage assessment collaboratively responded to post-disaster needs. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted twice with each participant, targeting operational personnel from Fukushima Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture who were responsible for providing counterpart support in this case. The interviews aimed to facilitate reflection on their experiences during the disaster response. As a result, the interview data were classified into 97 labels and grouped into 14 categories. These categories were treated as analytical units, and an exploratory qualitative analysis focusing on counterpart support in housing damage assessment operations was conducted using methods such as the Steps for Coding and Theorization (SCAT). This paper reports the results of the analysis and discusses key issues in counterpart support for housing damage assessment.
