Chiba Prefecture TEPCO's first public information session on September 16 at 20:45
TEPCO held its first briefing for residents in Chiba City in Chiba Prefecture, where power outages due to Typhoon No. 15 continue.
On December 16, TEPCO held briefing sessions for residents at two locations in Midori Ward, Chiba City, where blackouts continue to occur. Of these, about 100 residents gathered at the venue of Honda Higashi Elementary School.
The person in charge of TEPCO apologized and explained that, depending on the household, it may take up to 27th of this month to eliminate the power outage.
In response, residents expressed their opinions one after another, saying that the place name is not listed on the TEPCO website even though there was a power outage, or that they would like to explain the specific reasons for the prolonged power outage.
While TEPCO explained that the damage was large and the restoration work was proceeding from the southern part of the prefecture with limited human resources, the people of the TEPCO asked for understanding, but residents were disappointed.
A woman in her 60s who participated in the briefing session said, “The explanation of TEPCO didn't get the point, and I didn't get the information I wanted to know.
“Thanks to TEPCO Power Grid Chiba Sobu”, General Manager of Public Relations and Public Relations, Yao Itami, “I ’m really sorry for the inconvenience to all of you. I want to go. "
