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 […]

PBV’s Relief Efforts in Noto Continue: Public Bath Project

Wajima’s morning market, once a tourist attraction, was transformed by the fire and still looks painful even five months later.   As of May 28, 112 people were dead and 3 were missing in Wajima, and more than 14,000 houses were either completely or partially destroyed, left on the ground waiting to be demolished or cleared. Temporary housing has been built and evacuees have begun living in new places, but many of these residents do not know what to do with the houses and property left behind. Some evacuees commute to their former residences to clear the area and look for their belongings. Since the current temporary housing is not […]
