Company NameParticipate in [Let’s convey our thoughts!]
Three months has passed since the flood disaster on September 10th. These days, it appears if the city
has returned to normal, and there are many people who believe that the Joso-city disaster has alreadybeen recovered. However, there are many homes in which the kitchen is still unusable and only the 2nd
floor is livable, there are many people who have temporarily left their homes while their homes are underrepair, and there are many people who have moved out of the evacuation center to an unfamiliar area. For
these people, they are still in a disaster recovery lifestyle. To rebuild their lives in Joso-city, we believe that
it is very important that city residents are connected with one another, sharing their situation and opinions.
From that, we can understand everyone’s experiences after the disaster, their thinking, their wishes, theirmessages for others, and collect all this into a booklet, which can then be shared with Joso-city residents
and also with those who would like to help out. It will take a little bit of effort to make this, but to let others
know what has happened, and the lessons for future urban development, we hope you can participate inthis activity!

[HOW TO PARTICIPATE]
To help overcome the cold winter, through donations from around the country, an electrical blanket (valueof 7,000 yen) will be provided to participants, as part of “Nukumori Baton” project. Enclosed with theblanket, is a form, [We would like to hear from you~].
Please write your experiences in the form, and mail this back to JUNTOS.
The messages you write, will be compiled in a booklet, and be conveyed on radio and at gatherings, andin addition, would also be reflected in plans for disaster recovery of Joso-city[For example・・・]
How have you been from September 10th until now?
__During that typhoon I’m on duty. I’m in the same place in Joso-shi.
How has your lifestyle changed?
__It’s changed a lot because all our things were destroyed by water.
Have you had any positive experiences?
__Yes. Because 3 years ago, I experienced the Tsunami andthe big earthquake on March 11. 2011.
Have you had any negative experiences?
__Yes, I’m stress because I can’t go to my work.
What have you learned from this disaster?
__You must be ready everyday.
Any thoughts or worries about the future?
__ I’m alone working.
What do you think is necessary and important in reconstruction and rebuilding of everyone’s daily lives?
__To save for the future.
What do you hope the government to do?
__ I’m thankful for the Japanese government in attending our needs during that time.
Do you have any message for people outside the city?
__I’m so thankful for people outside the city who extended help to Joso-shi, thank you so much!!
