Summary

On January 1, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. AAR Japan's emergency relief team entered the affected areas and started distributing food and NFIs, providing soup kitchens, and supporting facilities for people with disabilities. In addition, on September 21, record-breaking rainfall hit the quake-stricken areas, causing floods and landslides. AAR is providing assistance to the victims who were damaged by both earthquake and heavy rain.

Challenge

The quakes forced approximately 51,000 to flee their homes for safety. In expansive areas in Ishikawa, lifelines of water, electricity or gas has been severed by the quakes. The displaced populations in evacuation centers are forced into urgent need for food supplies and living necessities to sustain life. Meanwhile, the needs of PWDs and other vulnerable groups have not received sufficient attention under the current circumstances.

Solution

AAR Japan has dispatched the emergency response team to the affected areas to implement relief efforts such as follows: 1) Erecting hotpot kitchens to cook meals (curry, rice balls, miso soup etc) around/in evacuation centers to serve the affected populations. 2) Distributing NFIs such as diapers, clothes, feminine hygiene products, food and etc. 3) Conducting needs-assessment on communities of PWDs to implement timely and appropriate support to the group.

Long-Term Impact

After emergency assistance, we will provide reconstruction support to help people regain their lives in various fields such as health, education, and support for people with disabilities. We will continue to provide mental and physical care for those affected by the disaster and medium- to long-term support to communities so that they can return to their daily routines of attending schools and facilities for the disabled again.
