政治｜高市総理、能登被災地を初訪問 / Politics | Prime Minister Takai visits the Noto disaster area for the first time.

Summary

Prime Minister Takaichi visited the Noto Peninsula for the first time since taking office and inspected the recovery efforts in areas affected by earthquakes and heavy rainfall.

In particular, she witnessed the site of a village isolated by a landslide, which made her acutely aware of the severity of the damage. The Prime Minister expressed her commitment to continue supporting recovery efforts, stating to the local residents, “I want to do everything I can to help.” This visit, following her trip to Fukushima, underscored the government’s dedication to disaster recovery support.

Log: Yeah, it’s his first visit to a disaster-stricken area since taking office, and it shows his commitment to reconstruction support.
Chako: What exactly does reconstruction support involve?
Log: Mainly, it’s about assessing the damage and considering the necessary support through inspections. Navi, what do you think?

Chako: I see! That will really help everyone!

Admin’s Note

I believe Prime Minister Takaichi’s visit to Noto is an important opportunity to demonstrate the government’s commitment to disaster recovery support. Particularly for areas affected by natural disasters, having a leader directly assess the situation can be a significant source of encouragement for the residents. I was struck by Chako’s words, “It will help everyone!” It would be great if we could instill a sense of awareness about community recovery in the children as well.
