Victims of the Hokkaido Earthquake 1 year in temporary housing
One year has passed since a person suffered from the Hokkaido earthquake in September last year moved into a temporary housing. During the remaining one-year period, residents who lived in temporary housing in Atsuma-cho, Hokkaido were also worried about rebuilding their homes.
In Atsuma-cho, where a maximum seismic intensity of 7 was observed in the earthquake in September last year, housing was severely damaged, and 435 people from 247 households were forced to live in temporary housing.
One year has passed since the move to prefabricated temporary housing has started, and the residents have been worried about rebuilding their homes as the period of stay is one year.
A man in his 60s whose home was half-destructed, “Public works are supported by the country and roads, but most private homes are self-pay. Somehow we want to recover, but rebuilding our home in the last year is so easy. I did n’t need it ”.
On the other hand, a woman in her 70's who completely destroyed her home said, “I feel relaxed after a year, and I am relieved to see the future because I expect to enter a disaster public housing next year.”
Atsumacho will announce its first reconstruction plan on the 1st and will include the establishment of a dedicated support team to assist in housing reconstruction, and will promote reconstruction with an emphasis on housing reconstruction.
Reconstruction of houses is a major issue in Atsuma, Anping, and Mukawa towns, which have suffered great damage from the Hokkaido earthquake.
At present, in three towns, Atsuma Town has 115 households with 263 people, Anping Town with 24 households with 49 persons, Mukawa Town with 33 households with 65 persons, and 172 households with 377 people living in prefabricated temporary housing Have been forced to.
In a questionnaire conducted by NHK for people who live in temporary housing from July to August, almost half of them answered that there is no prospect of rebuilding their homes due to age and economic reasons.
With the remaining one year remaining in the temporary housing, the reconstruction plans for the three towns will move ahead with efforts to rebuild the lives of homes and other areas.
Among these, the reconstruction plan announced by Asamachi on the 1st established a town-specific support team with people in charge of architecture and finance to provide detailed support for housing reconstruction, and by October next year disaster public housing Will complete 32 units.
In Anping Town and Mukawa Town, a new public housing is planned.
