Noto Penisula quake, Heavy snowfall hit

This is how Japan welcomed New Year’s Day, what a terrible way to start this year, 2024. A powerful earthquake struck the Noto peninsula, central Japan around 4:10 pm on New Year’s Day, and it triggered a Tsunami on the coastline. Official says over 250 people have been confirmed dead, with 26 individuals still unaccounted for as of Tuesday. Additionally, about 16,000 people are currently residing in emergency shelters.

Severe winter weather has struck the Kanto region and central Japan this week, including the Noto Peninsula, which was among the areas most affected by the earthquake and tsunami. In the Kanto area, unprecedented snow accumulation of 20 centimeters has disrupted all transportation systems.

Meanwhile, the Noto Peninsula, one of the areas most devastated by the earthquake and tsunami, remains a major concern. Many elderly individuals in the evacuee centers have suffered from hypothermia.

Furthermore, the extent of the damage in this region remains unknown due to cut-off roads caused by landslides or infrastructure damage, compounded by heavy snowfall. This situation makes it challenging to provide essential aid, including water, food, medicines, and other daily necessities. Another significant concern is the potential deterioration of hygiene in shelters due to the lack of running water for toilets.

As of Today, over 37,000 households are still without water after the Noto Penisula quake. Over 100 workers from across the country are scrambling to fix it. But officials say complete recovery won’t happen until April at the earliest.

I believe in hoping for a speedy recovery for the resilient people who are facing these challenges.

    Hey, sorry for the late response. I was in New Zealand for a week.

    So, what’s been going on in the area hit by the New Year’s Day earthquake?

    Temples around Japan’s Noto Peninsula held Buddhist memorial services for the 49th day, you know, that traditional mourning period believed to mark the duration of the rebirth process in Japanese culture.

    Families of the victims quietly prayed at a temple in Wajima city, where they’ve confirmed 102 deaths.

    In Wajima, the worst-hit area, schools are still struggling to get back to normal. Some students are switching schools or thinking about it because they can’t stay in their communities or they’re worried about falling behind in their studies.

    If you need more details, just ask!”

    Updated Noto Quake on February 27th,

    Some dental clinics in the most quake-hit city of Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture have reopened for the first time since New Year’s Day, despite a lack of running water.

    Suzu residents, who have been without water since the New Year’s Day earthquake, can now relax and wash up in soothing hot spring water thanks to a set of temporary baths donated by a city from far across the country.

    The areas affected by the earthquake seem to be getting more resilient day by day.
