Under-floor disinfection work finally begins Iwaki, Iwaki-shi, November 11 12:10

In Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, where typhoon 19 and subsequent heavy rains flooded many houses, disinfection work under the floor began at least 11 months after the typhoon.

In Iwaki City, approximately 4600 houses were damaged by flooding due to river flooding and subsequent heavy rain caused by Typhoon # 19.

On the 11th, Iwaki City started free disinfection work under the floor in the flooded area, and in the Uchigo area, a contractor commissioned by the city sprayed disinfectant around each house.

It is necessary to disinfect molds in flooded houses because it is easy to breed, but the city continued to shut down until the end of last month, and it took time to remove mud and clean up the house. It has been 11 days since the typhoon.

The part on the floor is not subject to free disinfection in the city, but a man in his 70s said, “I was relieved because I was worried about the impact on health. I was told, so it ’s really helpful to have it under the floor alone for free. ”

In Iwaki City, we will proceed with the disinfection work under the floor one by one until early December.
