Kyushu Bureau Launches Water Supply Support Through Kaiho and Kaiki Vessels
In a commendable effort to assist victims of the recent Kumamoto earthquake, the Kyushu Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has announced the initiation of a water supply support program using their vessels, Kaiho (海輝) and Kaiki (海煌). This program is set to commence on July 31, 2023, in the Yatsushiro area, specifically within the Yatsushiro port.
The first phase of this initiative will be conducted on Friday, July 31, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the 4.5-meter quay at Yatsushiro Port. Residents and those affected by the earthquake are encouraged to come prepared with their own containers—be it poly tanks or plastic bottles—to collect the water. Approximately 5 liters of water will be available for each visit. It's pertinent for the community members to note that while the water is planned to be suitable for drinking, quality tests will be performed beforehand. Depending on the test results, the water distributed may instead be classified for non-drinking use.
As part of the ongoing relief efforts, the water supply program will continue on Saturday, August 1, starting at 11:00 AM. This initiative not only aims to provide immediate assistance to those impacted but also reflects the Bureau's commitment to ensuring the health and safety of the local community during recovery operations.
The details are as follows:
