Welfare facilities for power outages and water outages No phone call, “no support request” September 11, 18:15

Some of the welfare facilities in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, where power outages and water outages continue, are still unable to receive the necessary support due to the continued lack of communication and communication via mobile phones.

Among them, the special elderly nursing home “Takataki Shinmei no Sato”, where about 50 senior citizens are admitted, continues to be unable to communicate or communicate with mobile phones in addition to power outages and water outages. For this reason, the detailed situation of the facility cannot be communicated to the department in charge of the city, and the necessary support cannot be requested.

In-house power generation equipment is used only for simple aspiration, etc., and the staff uses frequent water replenishment and water brought from tanks from areas that are not shut off so that residents do not get heat stroke. I wiped the resident's body.

Resident Yasuhiro Suzuki (92) usually uses an electric oxygen inhaler, but because of a power outage, he is using an oxygen cylinder, and the staff is not obsessed with or not working. I checked frequently.

Mr. Suzuki said, “This heat can be applied to my body. It is very close to my physical strength.

According to the facility director, Tomoko Sugita, “Some residents are experiencing symptoms of dehydration and slight fever due to the heat, so I am really worried considering that the power outage will continue. I do n’t know where I ’m coming, and I ’m very worried, ”he said.
