In Sekikawa Village, Niigata Prefecture, which was damaged by heavy rain, volunteer acceptance began on the 8th, and people visiting from within the prefecture are cleaning up their houses.
The village of Sekikawa in Niigata Prefecture, which suffered from landslides and flooding of houses due to heavy rain, began accepting volunteers.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, we are currently only accepting applications from vaccinated people living in Niigata Prefecture.
On the first day, the 8th, about 40 people gathered to visit the Takada district, where 73 buildings were submerged in water up to floor level.
They also helped people in the affected areas clean up by removing mud that had flowed into their homes and carrying out water-soaked futons and daily necessities.
Mr. Toru Igarashi, who participated from Kashiwazaki City, said, "I had a day off from work today, and the people of Niigata Prefecture were in trouble, so I participated in the event to try to be of some help. I want to help everyone become independent as soon as possible. I was talking.
Mr. Koichi Sugai of the Takada district said, "Her wife has a bad back and she can only work by herself, so she is very helpful because she takes care of things that she can't carry by herself."
