Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba inspected the Noto region in Ishikawa Prefecture, which was damaged by an earthquake and heavy rain, during his first regional schedule after taking office on the 5th.

According to NHK, Prime Minister Ishiba visited the Noto region on this day and inspected the damage caused by the earthquake and heavy rain. This is his first trip to the region, just 5 days after taking office.

Prime Minister Ishiba toured a site in Noto Wajima City where a river overflowed due to record-breaking heavy rain last month and houses were washed away, and then stopped by a gymnasium being used as a shelter to comfort the victims.

One victim said, “We are experiencing a double whammy due to the earthquake damage and the flood damage. “Please do not abandon Wajima City,” he appealed, and Prime Minister Ishiba first conveyed his intention to improve the shelter environment.

Prime Minister Ishiba visited a temporary home that was flooded by heavy rain in Noto Suzu City and listened to the damage situation.

After completing the inspection, Prime Minister Ishiba announced his intention to designate the disaster as a ‘special disaster’ for which the cost of disaster recovery will be supported by the government.

In addition, the Japanese government has eliminated the burden of demolition costs for houses that are more than half destroyed, and in cases where restoration work is difficult, such as a landslide disaster, it is carried out at the national level rather than local governments.

Prime Minister Ishiba told the accompanying press corps, “As a cabinet, we will work hard to ensure that no matter what happens anywhere in Japan, we receive the same support. “First of all, we will dramatically expand the Cabinet’s disaster prevention budget and manpower and establish a ‘Disaster Prevention Agency,’” he said, expressing his intention to hasten preparations.

Meanwhile, regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives and the general election, Prime Minister Ishiba emphasized, “It is the Liberal Democratic Party that can deal with difficult problems such as this earthquake, heavy rain, and the security environment,” and added, “We will do our best to win.”
