Even now, more than 10,000 people live in "deemed temporary" Typhoon No. 19 to October 12, 1 year 4:02
It has been 12 days and a year since the record heavy rain disaster caused by Typhoon No. 19.
A total of 115 people have died or are missing, of which 21 have been identified as disaster-related deaths after the disaster.
In addition, more than 10,000 people are forced to live in so-called "deemed temporary housing" using temporary housing and rental housing, and how about supporting the foundation of life in addition to the restoration of a wide range of disaster areas? The issue is how to proceed.
Typhoon No. 19 in October last year caused record heavy rains in eastern Japan and Tohoku, and according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, a total of 142 embankments broke in rivers managed by the national and prefectural governments, and flooding occurred. The total number of rivers that have risen has reached 325.
In addition, there were 952 landslides such as landslides.
The amount of damage to buildings and roads was 1,860 billion yen, which was the largest single flood damage since we started collecting statistics in 1958.
When NHK interviewed local governments nationwide, as of 9th of this month, there were 115 dead and missing, mainly in Fukushima, Miyagi, Kanagawa and Nagano prefectures.
Of the 113 people who died, 92 died from direct damage such as sediment-related disasters and river floods, and 21 people were identified as disaster-related deaths after the disaster.
Even now, one year later, there are a total of 10,146 people in 11 prefectures who are forced to live in so-called “deemed temporary housing” using prefabricated temporary housing and rental housing.
The largest number is 4123 in Fukushima Prefecture, which is flooded with the Abukuma River, followed by 2508 in Nagano Prefecture, which is flooded with the Chikuma River.
In the disaster area, restoration work such as broken embankments and collapsed slopes is still ongoing.
As natural disasters continue to occur in various regions, the issue is how to support the foundations of daily life in addition to the restoration of a wide range of disaster-stricken areas.
