Earthquake in Japan / How to support Kumamoto and Oita Area

2016.04.22

Occurrences

Magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit southern Japan, Kumamoto on April 14th, 2016

and the aftershocks are continuing even now.  

 

I would like to share the video of “earthsky102”, “Breaking: Daybreak in Japan

and Flyover of Earthquake Damage#JapanQuake#Japan” to show you what happened.

 

 

This is the video right after the earthquake occurred,

so the damages in the stricken area are getting much worse now.

More people need food, water, place to rest and everything between.

 

What can we do? How can we help? There are things which we can do to help.

We can actually go there. And if we cannot go there physically,

we can send relief goods from wherever we are.

We can also donate money to charitable organizations.

 

 

 

At Fukui City Hall, there is a temporary reception desk for acceptance of relief supplies.

( April 20th, 2016~April 23rd, 2016, from 8:30-17:15)

 

They also accept donation money as well.

( April 20th, 2016~April 23rd, 2016, from 8:30-17:15)

 

 

You can also send relief supplies and/or donation money to the stricken area

through Red Cross near you.

 

*Japanese Red Cross Society

 

*The Red Cross Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan)

 

*Korean Red Cross

 

*American Red Cross

 

*British Red Cross

 

As you can see, there are many Red Cross in the world. 

If you don’t see the one which is near you from the above,

please find the nearest one in your area from the website.

 

Of course, other groups and organizations are available.

 

We can help!
