Admin’s Note

The start of volunteer activities in response to the recent windstorm damage is a significant reminder of the importance of community unity and mutual support. The situation is particularly severe with 8,390 households experiencing power outages, but I hope that the efforts of the volunteers will help restore services as quickly as possible. This also reinforces the importance of supporting areas affected by natural disasters. We should think about what we can do to contribute as well.
