Sano Tochigi Self-Defense Forces in Utsunomiya Garrison Remove Mud October 17th 13:03
In Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, where many houses were damaged by typhoon No. 19, approximately 140 Self-Defense Force members have been removing mud since the morning of the 17th.
In Sano City, the bank of the Akiyama River flowing through the city broke down, and about 2600 houses were damaged by water.
On the morning of the 17th, about 140 members of the Ground Self-Defense Force departed from the Utsunomiya garrison to remove mud flowing from the river.
The members entered Akasaka-cho, where the damage was particularly severe, and the mud collected on the roads in the residential area was collected with a shovel and loaded onto a truck with construction machinery.
A man in his 60s who dipped his home to the floor said, “I didn't think mud would come to such a place.
“I want to respond to the voices of people in need of support. The weekend may be affected by rain, so I want to hurry up.” .
