熊本県で最大震度7を観測し、災害関連死の疑いを含めて38人が犠牲になった熊本地震は28日、発生から2カ月となった。仮設住宅への入居開始や九州新幹線の全線再開など復旧・復興への歩みは進むが、避難所には1500人を超える被災者が身を寄せている。

井戸水異常「いつまで…」 利用多い八代市、住民ら不安―「対応チーム」設置、課題は費用・熊本地震

県によると、25日時点で1514人が県内32カ所で避難所生活を余儀なくされている。住宅被害は7万1518棟で、全半壊は9540棟に上る。1万663棟は被害程度の判定が終わっていない。公費解体の受け付けは776件にとどまる。

最大約10万8000戸で発生した断水は、応急復旧が完了。ただ、井戸水への依存度の高い八代市では約4500世帯で被害が報告されており、全面復旧のめどは立たない。

一方、応急仮設住宅は氷川町と甲佐町、宇城、熊本両市で計10団地182戸が完成し、被災者の入居が始まった。年内に計25団地700戸の整備・入居を予定している。自宅敷地内に設置する仮設住宅も、氷川町で着工が始まった。

18日には、地震発生以来運転を見合わせていた九州新幹線の熊本―新水俣間が再開。JR九州は鹿児島線の宇土―八代間についても、10月10日から運行を再開すると発表している。

10月からは、観光需要の喚起策として旅行・宿泊料金の最大60%を割り引く「熊本ふっこう応援割」が始まる。県によると、県内約370の宿泊施設が参加し、9月15日から販売を開始した。発売直後に予定数に達した施設もあるという。

One month after the heavy rains in Chiba, more than 10,000 vehicles were submerged in water, and the car-sharing association's free rentals cannot keep up with demand.

One month has passed since heavy rains occurred in Chiba Prefecture, and more than 10,000 vehicles were submerged in water due to flooding, and approximately 3,100 vehicles were abandoned on the roads. The Japan Car Sharing Association, a general incorporated association, provides free vehicle rentals to disaster victims, but due to the series of disasters across the country, it has been flooded with applications, and currently only responds to one-sixth of applications. The shortage of vehicles and staff is becoming increasingly serious.
