Heavy rain The hospital is no longer isolated. Drainage continues. Saga, Omachi-cho, August 30, 18:50
Juntendo Hospital in Omachi-cho, Saga Prefecture, which has been inundated by the record heavy rain, has been isolated by 30 days. Still, the water level is still about 10 cm, so the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism continues to drain with a pump.
In Omachi-cho, Saga, oil was spilled from the Saga Iron Works Omachi Plant due to the record heavy rain, and the Juntendo Hospital in the Fukumo area and nearby houses were immersed in the oil-mixed water and became isolated. .
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been installing drainage pumps around the hospital and draining water into the Hexagon River.
According to the prefecture, by the morning of the 30th, the water level dropped to about 40 centimeters and large vehicles could pass around the hospital, eliminating the hospital's isolation.
However, as the water level is still about 10 cm at the evening of the 30th, drainage by the pump continues.
Since water is mixed with oil, we are also carefully removing oil in parallel. According to Saga Prefecture, it is expected that it will take some time before the flooded state is resolved.
