Chikuma River inundation damage Pumping up the pumps and draining all night.
In areas where the typhoon No. 19 has damaged the bank of the Chikuma River in Nagano City and flooded houses, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's river office will pump the flooded area in the morning on the 14th. We will increase the number of cars and work all night.
Due to Typhoon No. 19, the bank of the Chikuma River broke down, and in the Hoho area of Nagano City, houses were still damaged in a wide area.
The Chikumagawa River Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, which manages the Chikuma River, is proceeding with drainage work using a pump car, but has decided to greatly expand its system.
By increasing the number of pump trucks from 6 to 28 and draining all night, the work will be done so that drainage can be completed in the morning of the 14th at the earliest.
Nagano City showed at the press conference on the 13th that it would take at least two weeks for the flooding in the Hoho district to take longer than expected to drain completely.
