Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 15, it is still 11:30 am in Chiba Prefecture. There are approximately 29,900 households with power outages. In the last 24 hours, approximately 19,000 units have been restored, and TEPCO continues to hurry.

It will be 10 days on the 19th after the large-scale blackout associated with Typhoon No.15, but according to TEPCO, the power outage is still around 29,900 in Chiba Prefecture at 11:30 am on the 19th. it is continuing.

Looking at the number of power outages by municipality, Minami Boso City has 4400 units,
▽ Ichihara City has 4000 units,
▽ Sanmu City has 4000 units,
▽ Kimitsu City has 3400 units
▽ Yachimata City has 2500 units,
▽ Futtsu City has 2300 houses.

Although it rained locally on the 18th, work was proceeding as planned, and in the last 24 hours, approximately 19 million homes were restored.

TEPCO has shown that power outages will be almost eliminated by the 20th in Midori Ward and Wakaba Ward in Chiba City, Narita City, Sakura City, and Tako Town and Kanzaki Town.

We are also urgently working to restore other municipalities in as many districts as possible within 20 days.

On the other hand, in areas around the mountains where removal of fallen trees and restoration of utility poles and electric wires are expected to take time, work will be carried out with the aim of restoration by 27th of this month.

According to TEPCO, once a power failure has been restored, if the wire remains damaged or has fallen trees, the power failure may occur again.

In addition, if the electrical wiring in the building is damaged, there is a risk of a “conducting fire” that fires from the wiring during restoration, so TEPCO has opened a house that has been out of power for a long time. When we go out, we call on you to be careful beforehand by turning off the electric breaker.
