A national plan has been finalized to carry out rescue operations and deliver relief supplies in the areas affected by the huge earthquakes expected in the Kuril Trench and Japan Trench off the coast of Hokkaido and Iwate Prefecture. In particular, assistance from all over the country will begin immediately, mainly in the northern Japan, where enormous damage is occurring, without waiting for requests from the affected areas.
Of these, up to about 7,72 people from the police, fire departments, and Self-Defense Forces will be dispatched.
