An earthquake measuring 7 (out of 7) on the Japanese seismic intensity scale occurred in the early morning of September 6, 2018, resulting in a large-scale blackout and causing massive damage from landslides and liquefaction.
In order to provide support for people and areas affected by the earthquake, Peace Boat Disaster Relief Volunteer Center (PBV) is cooperating closely with related groups and relief organizations, and will carry out an initial disaster assessment and provide other needed relief.
Our immediate goal is to be able to quickly provide support for people in the areas affected most by the earthquake—Atsumi, Abira, and Mukawa towns. We have set up an emergency relief fund to support these efforts and kindly ask for your support. Your support to the fund is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your continued support.
