Many isolated villages in Kumamoto Prefecture Rescue activities rush along the Kuma River Ministry of Defense July 6 12:44
According to the Ministry of Defense, there are still many isolated villages around the flooded Kuma River in Kumamoto prefecture, so we are in a hurry for rescue activities.
Of these, in Kuma Village, there are several places that are judged to be urgent, such as the elderly and those who need artificial dialysis. The Ministry of Defense dispatches approximately 2,200 members and 20 aircraft such as helicopters in a disaster, rushing search and rescue operations from the ground and air.
The video taken by the Ground Self-Defense Force in Kuma-mura, Kumamoto Prefecture on the morning of the 6th shows that the roads are fragmented here and there due to landslides and revetment collapses.
In the video, members of the Self-Defense Forces are running along Route 219 along the Kuma River from the crossing district of Kuma Village toward the Kuma Village Office.
The slopes on the side of the road are collapsing here and there, and a large carrier that transports automobiles is stuck.
There are places where trees along the river collapse and block the road, and there are places where the bank of the river has collapsed and the road surface has also collapsed into the river.
The crew members are using shovel cars to remove obstacles, and it is clear that the river flooded areas are suffering a great deal of damage.
