Effective support for people in Mashiki city

When you drive a car from Kumamoto city to Mashiki city, the road side view in Mashiki shows serious damages of the earthquake. The city was one of the most severely hit disaster areas.
The population of the city is approximately 30,000, of which one in ten people, approx. 3.000, still stay at emergency shelters.

Although the collapsed buildings cannot be used any longer, many of the earthquake victims hope to collect their belongings from the buildings such as cars, agricultural equipment and so on. Some oraganisations with construction expertise, operate heavy machinery to assist victims with recovering their belongings.”

The recovery work has been insufficient in every corner of Masaki city due to the severe damages. As a result, some victims assist in the recovery process by co-operating with the oraganisations.
