Secretary General Motegi of the Liberal Democratic Party visited the Yokogawa basin in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture, where preparation for flood damage is an issue, and strengthened support for hydraulic control measures because the risk of natural disasters is increasing due to the effects of climate change. I showed my thoughts.
“I want to fully back up disaster prevention in advance”
Secretary General Motegi of the Liberal Democratic Party visited Yamanashi Prefecture on the 4th and inspected the Yokogawa basin flowing southeast of the city of the Southern Alps.
In this area where nine rivers including Yokogawa flow, drainage is poor and flood damage has occurred frequently in the past, and Mr. Mogi three-dimensionally put another river under the river to prevent damage from the person in charge of the prefecture. We received an explanation that the structure was renovated, which is rare in the whole country.
He was asked to secure a budget and provide technical support to continue to promote hydraulic control measures, but he said, "The risk of frequent natural disasters is higher than ever. It is difficult to deal with disasters after they occur. It costs a lot of money. I want to fully back up the country from the viewpoint of disaster prevention in advance. "
After that, Mr. Mogi told reporters, "With climate change becoming a problem, how much disaster can be prevented in advance is a big issue for Japan as a whole."
