Consequently, it is also expected that the number of missing older PwD living alone will rise. However, there is little research on missing PwD who live alone. The aim of this study was to clarify the framework of measures that are deemed necessary by municipalities when older PwD who are living alone go missing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A mail survey was conducted among 1741 municipalities, and we asked about the necessity of 22 measures to address the issue of missing PwD who are living alone. A total of 478 municipalities with no missing values in the analyzed variables were included in the analysis, and factor analysis was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The following five factors were extracted: collaboration (Factor 1), prior agreement (Factor 2), the SOS network (Factor 3), information and communication technology\u2010based solutions (Factor 4), and policy guidelines or protocol frameworks (Factor 5).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Each of the five factors was unique.
