Mayor of Chiba Tako strengthens support for "the situation is getting worse" 12:36 on September 12
Power outages and water outages continue in a wide area in Tako-cho, northeastern Chiba Prefecture. The phone is almost unreachable, and Mayor Tokochi is appealing for strengthening the support, saying that the situation is getting worse rather than improving.
In Tako-cho, Chiba Prefecture, with a population of more than 14,600, about 4,500 households, or 75% of the total, are out of service on the 12th and water outages continue in about 4,800 households, or 80%. The phone is still almost unconnected.
For drinking water, the Self-Defense Forces and other local governments in the prefecture dispatch water trucks, and residents visit the town hall with tanks and bags.
A 33-year-old woman who spent the night with her family at a shelter in the town said, “I am worried because I do n’t know what will happen in the future because I ca n’t use electricity or water. I was talking.
Mayor Tokochi said, “In addition to power outages and water outages, telephones are hardly connected, and the situation is getting worse, rather than improving. Staff members are responding to insomnia so as not to injure the victims. I want you to hurry. ”
