In Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, with the exception of some areas, the restoration will take place by about 16th, which is expected to eliminate about 90% of power outages.

However, in some areas such as Ichihara City and Kamogawa City in Chiba Prefecture, recovery will take approximately 20th this month due to fallen trees.
