In early July 2018, heavy rains caused massive flooding in western and central Japan. Peace Winds responded immediately with search and rescue and provided relief supplies. Only nine weeks later on September 4, the most powerful typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years made landfall, striking many of the same areas devastated by floods. Your donation provides supplies and supports programs for the vulnerable people, especially elderly and children.
Immediately after the July floods an unprecedented, deadly heat wave hit Japan, delaying recovery and clean-up efforts. In early September, Typhoon Jebi added additional delays to recovery for the flood victims and created new victims needing assistance. Peace Winds and shelter staff prepared shelters and evacuation centers as more people needed accommodations resulting from these disasters. Peace Winds needs to provide operational planning, additional staff, supplies, and assist recovery.
Peace Winds is supporting the flooded communities by providing basic supplies and tools, plus long-term accommodations. Supplies and infrastructure are needed to ensure temporary housing can operate. Peace Winds delivers relief goods, maintains housing operations, and is supporting the elderly. Peace Winds is continuing with home repair and cleaning so families can return home. Nursery facilities and primary schools are being repaired.
Peace Winds is assisting the disaster victims and will continue support through recovery. We are providing food and water, shelter, security, clean up assistance, and counseling as typhoon and flood survivors continue to live in temporary housing. Peace Winds is creating a strong sense of community, sharing a hopeful future. Peace Winds aids all victims, especially focusing on children and the elderly in the relief and recovery process.
