The last evacuation center in Hitoyoshi City was closed on the 28th, half a year after the heavy rain in July, when the Kuma River flowing through Kumamoto Prefecture was flooded and caused great damage in the basin.
The evacuation center set up at the Hitoyoshi Sports Palace in Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, was closed on the 28th.
At times there were 836 people, but the last one, a man in his 60s, moved out on the 28th and was closed at 4 pm, saying he had completed emergency repairs at his home.
After that, city officials cleaned up the evacuation space by removing the cloth covering it and removing the cardboard.
In Kumamoto Prefecture, the remaining one evacuation center in Asagiri Town and the "deemed evacuation center" set up in hotels are expected to be closed sequentially from the end of this month to next month, but the number of residents of temporary housing is about 1790. I have a household and am working on rebuilding my life.
Mayor Hayato Matsuoka of Hitoyoshi City said, "I was relieved to see the shelter where no one was gone, but the reconstruction of the lives of the victims is still in the middle of the road, and I would like to continue to support the local government."
