Necessary to take measures against the cold

In the future, it will become difficult to cool down in various places, and “cold countermeasures” will be required in areas that have suffered significant damage due to successive heavy rain disasters.

In affected areas, some people continue to live in houses where floors are peeled off or walls are pierced to dry submerged buildings, while others suffer from cold outside air.

In addition, it is said that the cold that is felt indoors will be severe in houses where moldy insulation is removed from the floor due to flooding.

According to Tokutake Maehara, the representative of the disaster NGO “Yui”, “In the heavy rains of Kanto and Tohoku four years ago when Joso city in Ibaraki Prefecture was severely damaged, there were people who lost their physical condition over the winter in flooded homes. It is necessary to reconsider whether the support should remain as it is for health management and housing for those people. "
