Two new deaths were confirmed on the 28th in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures due to the heavy rains caused by Typhoon No. 25, bringing the total number of deaths to 14 and one person missing. In Chiba Prefecture, power outages and water outages continue due to flooding caused by levee failures and landslides, and restoration is expected to take three months in some sections of JR East. With fears that Typhoon No. 26 will approach within the week, residents are growing anxious about new disasters.

Two months have passed since the Kumamoto Earthquake, and although progress has been made in recovery efforts, including the start of people moving into temporary housing and the reopening of all Kyushu Shinkansen lines, concerns remain as more than 1,500 people have evacuated, and water quality damage has been reported in approximately 4,500 households in Yatsushiro City, which relies heavily on well water.

In Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture, which was hit by a tremor with an intensity of 6 or above during the Kumamoto Earthquake, water supply outages have been resolved, but damage continues with wells drying up and water becoming cloudy. The prefecture worked with the national government to set up a well water response team, but only 1,374 cases were investigated and improvements were made in only 61 cases. Residents have voiced their concerns, saying, ``We don't know how long this will last.''

Heavy rains caused by Typhoon No. 25 caused the embankments around Inbanuma, Chiba Prefecture to burst, flooding fish farms and agricultural warehouses. Approximately 100,000 Japanese carp and goldfish were washed away from the Tani Fish Farm, and the total damage was approximately 1 billion yen. Approximately 50,000 eels died or escaped at the Inbanuma Fisheries Cooperative's eel farm, and approximately 1,000 bags of new rice in the farmer's warehouse could no longer be shipped.

Heavy rains caused by Typhoon No. 25 caused a series of landslides in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, and as of 11 a.m. on the 22nd, four people had died and six were missing. Both prefectures have requested disaster relief dispatch from the Self-Defense Forces, and are conducting searches together with police and fire departments. In Yokosuka City, a woman in her 60s died when her house was crushed by a landslide, in Sodegaura City, a man died after falling along with his heavy equipment down a cliff, and in Kamogawa City and Sammu City, two women in their 70s and 80s died when their houses collapsed.

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.
