On Sunday, about 20,700 households in the larger Ishikawa place were without electricity. Waters was not available in more than 66,100 homes.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated in an interview with NHK on Sunday that” the first priority has been to save individuals under the dust and to reach isolated neighborhoods.”
According to him, the government has sent little contingents of soldiers on foot to each of the remote communities.
To get to them, the government has even “deployed numerous police and fire division planes,” according to Kishida.
Due to strict building regulations that have been in place for more than 40 years, Japan experiences hundreds of earthquakes annually, but the majority do n’t cause any damage.
However, many buildings are older, particularly in rapidly aging neighborhoods in remote areas like Noto.
The massive earthquake of 2011 that destroyed the Fukushima plant and caused a storm, leaving about 18,500 people dead or missing, haunts the nation.
