Typhoon #26 battered the Izu Islands, a chain of islands just south of Tokyo, on October 16th<\/sup>. Oshima Island was the hardest hit, where severe flooding and landslides left communities devastated in the wake of the typhoon. Unrelentingly, typhoons #27 and #28 also exacerbated the situation when they passed through the same area in quick concession.<\/p>\n

PBV commenced relief operations in Izu Oshima on October 30th<\/sup>, making it the 5th<\/sup> domestic relief project of this year for our organisation.<\/p>\n

The advanced team, consisting of 3 experienced members of staff, assessed damaged areas and established contact with local organisations such as the Social Welfare Council and other disaster relief groups working in the area.<\/p>\n

Working closely with the \u201cTokyo Disaster Volunteer Center\u201d, PBV coordinated 263 volunteer work days over the course of a month. After a comprehensive post-assessment of the affected areas, we officially wrapped up our operations on Oshima on November 29th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

PBV\u2019s work consisted of the following: cleaning privately owned houses that had been damaged during the typhoon, serving as team leaders for other volunteer groups and assisting with the running\/maintenance of the Oshima Disaster Volunteer Center, which was run by the Oshima Social Welfare Council.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of those who have been involved with fundraising and supporting our project in Oshima Island.<\/p>\n

Our work to help families affected by this disaster would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of countless individuals.<\/p>\n
