Power outage Chiba Special training in Konancho Cannot take a bath for almost a week September 15th 13:57
In the Hota area where the special nursing home “Konan-an” in Korancho, Chiba Prefecture is located, TEPCO has announced that it would take up to 100 houses until 27th of this month.
This facility continues to be unable to use air conditioners, septic tanks, and kitchen facilities due to power outages caused by typhoons.
In addition, although water is coming, the electric pump cannot be used, so the bath cannot be used and 78 residents have not been able to take a bath for almost a week.
Furthermore, since “Nurse Call” cannot be used, the burden on the staff is increasing, such as the staff checking the rooms frequently to check for changes.
Regarding the prospect of a prolonged power outage, Yoshio Maeda, director of the facility, said, “It was the last three laps that I thought was one more lap. Since the town has been considering the support of the power supply car, and the supplies that are expected to be in short supply are requested by the corporation unit, we will take the best possible action for the long term. I wanted to go. "
