Typhoon No. 15 damage Izu Oshima's high school class resumes but recovery is not expected October 9th 12:01
One month ago, Typhoon No. 15 was damaged by a large amount of glass windows at school buildings in Tokyo and Izu Oshima. High schools have resumed classes using classrooms that were not damaged, but there is no prospect of full-scale restoration of the school building due to a lack of personnel on the island.
Metropolitan Oshima Marine International High School in Oshima-cho, Izu-Oshima was severely damaged by the typhoon No. 15 last month, with over 180 glass windows being broken.
In high school, classes were resumed from the 16th of last month using undamaged classrooms and dormitory training rooms where students from outside the island live.
However, restoration work such as classrooms with broken windows and gymnasiums with parts of the roof peeled off has not progressed due to the shortage of workers on the island and the need to carry materials from outside the island. There are no prospects for recovery.
In addition, because large typhoon No. 19 may be approaching in the future, high schools were reinforcing in preparation for typhoons, such as placing boards on classroom windows.
“We are considering the safety of students in preparation for the next typhoon, including returning students living in the dormitory to prepare for the next typhoon. I ’m worried about it. ”
