On January 1, 2024, a deadly, M7.6 earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. According to the local authority, as of January 25, 2024, 236 people have been confirmed dead and search operations for missing persons continue. Over 41,834 houses have been damaged and some areas still do not have water. While the cold winter persists, an imminent challenge is to prevent disaster-related deaths.
As a member of ARROWS (Airborne Rescue and Relief Operations With Search), Civic Force immediately began providing emergency assistance. Around the Noto Peninsula and Suzu city, the team conducted search-and-rescue operations for missing people, provided medical support through mobile clinics and relief items in collaboration with corporate partners. Civic Force launched NPO Partner Projects to support local organizations for the mid to long term future.
