PBV’s Relief Efforts in Noto Continue: Rebuilding Community Network
Six months have passed since the earthquake, but there are still areas in Suzu City where it is difficult to quickly restore the water supply, and people are forced to live under conditions where the tap water is not available.
PBV has established a relief station in the Otani area, which is the furthest from the city center and where the only supermarket in the area was damaged, making shopping difficult.
With 70% of the residents having moved away from this place and the original community unable to maintain itself, some say that gathering here once a week to chat is the only thing they look forward to.
At this station, there were scenes of tearful hugs as the residents rejoiced in seeing each other again after six months.
As the weather gets hotter, we will continue to create opportunities for residents to get together and support each other.
We seek your continued support for our relief efforts in the Noto peninsula.
