Volunteers for disaster areas such as typhoons
By the 30th of last month, a total of 80,000 volunteers are active in affected areas such as Typhoon No. 19. However, the current situation is that volunteers are dispersed and there are regional differences, and the National Social Welfare Council wants you to check the recruitment situation in each place.
According to the National Social Welfare Council, more than 80,000 volunteers were active in the typhoon No. 19 and the areas affected by heavy rain after that during the 19 days from 12 to 30 last month.
This is almost the same as the number of volunteers who worked for 19 days after the heavy rain in western Japan last July.
The number of volunteers in each prefecture is
▽ 22,573 people in Nagano Prefecture,
▽ 10,000 people in Fukushima Prefecture,
▽ 1087 people in Tochigi Prefecture,
▽ 8972 people in Ibaraki
▽ 7384 people in Miyagi Prefecture,
▽ 4628 people in Saitama Prefecture
▽ 3976 people in Iwate Prefecture,
▽ 3833 people in Chiba
▽ 2355 people in Tokyo,
▽ 2232 people in Kanagawa Prefecture,
▽ 1410 people in Gunma
▽ 810 people in Shizuoka Prefecture
▽ 81 people in Yamagata Prefecture,
▽ It is 56 people in Niigata Prefecture.
Because the damage has spread over a wide area, there is a shortage of volunteers in any disaster-stricken area, and the volunteers are dispersed and there are differences between regions.
This seems to be because transportation is convenient and it is easy to gather in areas where there are many media reports. The farther away from the city, the more labor shortages are.
In the affected areas, there is a growing need for cleaning houses and carrying out household goods.
The National Social Welfare Council wants you to visit the disaster area near the town where you live, and wants you to refer to the recruitment status on the website.
