Applying Disaster Relief Act to Oshima Town Damaged by Typhoon No.15, Tokyo, September 24, 21:02

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has decided to apply the Disaster Relief Act to Oshima-cho in the Izu Islands, where many houses have been damaged by Typhoon No. 15, such as emergency repair of damaged houses, securing food and drinking water, etc. To support the cost. At the same time, we decided to apply the Disaster Reconstruction Life Support Law and to provide support for life reconstruction to affected households according to the degree of damage to their homes.

For other local governments on the islands, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has decided to consider another support method because the damage this time does not meet the applicable standards of the Disaster Relief Law and the Disaster Relief Life Reconstruction Support Law.

On the other hand, in Chiba Prefecture, support for repair costs will be provided for partially damaged houses that are not covered by repair costs in the current country's system, using the government grant. However, the city is coordinating with the country.

The damage to houses in Tokyo caused by Typhoon No. 15 compiled by the capital at 1 pm on the 24th, mainly in the islands,
▽ Eight completely destroyed
▽ Semi-breakdown is 89
▽ 1460 buildings partially damaged,
▽ Inundation damage has risen to 1577 buildings, including 20 buildings.
