Oops! Apologies, Yo.
I hit the "Send" button too soon. Almost all the hits were for this Center in Kanagawa, but I also see there are centers in Oguchi (Aichi Pref.) and a couple of others. Accordingly, I would have to say that this answer is not correct, (unless it IS Kanagawa your doc deals with...)

I couldn't see any "official" name, but would unofficially suggest "Disaster Relief Volunteer Support Center."

Disaster Volunteer Center

<Disaster Volunteer Center> Opened

10 April 2006

On April 1st, Kyoto City opened a <Disaster Volunteer Center> in the Hito Machi Koryu-kan Kyoto (Shimogyo-ku) in cooperation with the Kyoto NPO Center and Kyoto City Social Welfare Committee. The center was founded to prepare volunteer organizing systems that can be a great help during large disasters. If a disaster happens, the center takes care of recruiting and sending volunteers and coordinating systematic and effective work. Generally, the center helps to establish a cooperative relationship between other groups, to train volunteer coordinators, to carry out promotion activities to let people know about volunteer work. The center is open from 9:00 to 17:00, and closed on Sat., Sun., national holidays and the third Tuesday of every month. For further information, contact the Kyoto City Local Creation Section at 075-222-4072.
