Fortunately, this friend texted me that all the family members were safe, but they must have spent a fearful night. It was earthquake with an intensity of six on the seismic scale and there were many injured people, but it was a miracle that there was no casualty
; There could be unfortunate cases that people are killed instantly by fallen objects or being crushed under collapsed houses. Besides, there were massive fire at the earthquake in Kobe, and tsunamis at 3.11 earthquake -which claimed so many lives. But this time, we cannot simply call it miracle.
Reportedly, according to the residence, after they could escape safe, they went to save neighbors, and called rescue squad at the spots in need, and all the people trapped under collapsed houses were saved.
As I read the news, I thought ofearthquakein Kobe: In one of the small towns near the epicenter, the residence cooperated like this time, and all the survivors trapped under collapsed houses were saved
This time, I thought that it's "people" that dictate the function of community after all
. Even in the stricken area of 3.11 earthquake, it seems that some communities being reconstructed smoothly, and some communities never stop getting deserted. In towns and communities with business and places to return, reconstruction goes on smoothly -This is an impression I've had so far, but what makes a difference? If it's "people" that dictate the function of community, The mission of administration is to create an environment so that people can work their part as community members feeling reassured, isn't it? -I suppose, -Butit's so carefree of themthat what they are bustling about for is arbitrary election!!
If there are residents in the stricken area who feel disgusted thatpanjandrumsjust raid and impede their daily lives and business, They cannot be blamed that they are entirely wrong
No one would blame people who insist that tax costed for this campaign should be benefited for stricken area in Tohoku or Nagano
. -Even so,DO NOT let this anger make you abstain from voting. Sublimate this anger into your vote and indicate your intention. One person counts in both reconstruction and election.
