One week has passed since a major blackout caused by Typhoon # 15. In Chiba Prefecture, there are still 73,600 power outages, and TEPCO is working on recovery until roughly 27th this month.
According to TEPCO, power outages continue in Chiba Prefecture at about 73,600 units at 6:30 pm on the 16th.
By municipality, 7700 units in Sanmu City, 7200 units in Yamata City, 7100 units in Minamiboso City, and 3900 units in Chiba City in Midori Ward and Wakaba Ward.
On the other hand, on the 16th, the power outages in Asahi, Katsuura, Sakai, and Tonosho were resolved, and approximately 43,000 houses were restored in the past 24 hours.
In Chiba Prefecture, there was concern about the impact on the restoration work due to intermittent heavy rains that continued after noon on the 16th, but TEPCO says that there is no major impact so far. However, according to TEPCO, the restoration work in many municipalities, such as Midori Ward in Chiba City, continues to be restored this month except for Katori City, Sakura City, Tateyama City, Narita City, etc. Suppose there is an area that takes up to a day.
In addition, this typhoon No. 15 has a lot of damage to buildings in various places, and there is a risk of a “conducting fire” that fires from damaged electrical wiring, etc., following the restoration of a power outage. TEPCO has called for attention, such as turning off an electrical breaker before going out for a long time in a house with a power outage.
