The point of rebuilding life is affected ... October 16, 16:55

If your home is damaged by a disaster ... Ensuring housing is a major issue. Those who have had a mortgage loan will need to spend more, and it will be a heavy burden. Various systems are currently being prepared to support these victims. It is a point that you should know so that you can not receive support because you did not know the system and do not take a heavy burden.

When cleaning up ... Be careful of safety

Please consider safety when you clean up a damaged home.

□ Work with two or more people □ Consider the safety of subsequent secondary disasters □ Do not enter the building with “red” paper indicating “danger” in emergency risk assessment

* Points to note for emergency risk assessment Architects etc. judge the risk by dividing it into "green", "yellow", and "red" to prevent secondary disasters. Even if it is judged as dangerous “red”, it may differ from the actual damage judgment investigated by the local government. Note that this is different from the “Risk Certificate” issued by the local government.

First thing to do ...

The support you receive depends on the amount of damage.

Please take a picture of the damage before you put it away. It is useful for the subsequent application of the “Risk Disaster Certificate”. * Everything is safe and easy *

□ Make sure to record the damage status with photos, etc. □ Take pictures of the exterior of your home from four directions (east, west, north, and south) □ Take a picture of people standing up so that you can see how far they have been flooded □ Indoor or outdoor equipment The situation of damage

These photos are taken with a mobile phone such as a smartphone, and there is no problem.

The “Nationwide Network Connected by the Earthquake” provides information on how to take photographs that are useful when applying for a disaster certificate on the website.
