The article "Flood Recovery Info" has been uploaded.
There has been a lot of news about natural disasters lately. Let's think about how you can protect yourself.
The Tokyo Intercultural Portal Site has a "Information to Help When Disaster Prevention and Disaster" corner.
In this section, we post articles in 10 languages to help you learn about disasters and think about what you should do to prepare for them before they happen.
In Japan, heavy rains and typhoons can cause flood damage.
When your home is inundated by flooding, what should you do?





The Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation “TSUNAGARI” has produced multilingual translations (English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese) of the flyer edition (A4, 4 pages) of “What to Do If Your Property Is Damaged by Flooding — Recovering from a Flood Disaster,” created by the Nationwide Disaster Response Network (Shintsuna).
This material clearly summarizes the initial steps to take during a flood and key points for rebuilding your life afterward.
*(In the multilingual editions, Section 3, “Obtain a Disaster Victim Certificate (Risai Shomeisho),” has been partially adapted before translation.)
The Japanese edition data was provided by the Nationwide Disaster Response Network (Shintsuna).
