For Supporters and Partners

We are working to support the fastest possible recovery from the heavy rain disaster. We are starting by collecting public information from government agencies and news organizations and making it easier for Ishikawa, Toyama and Fukui residents to find. We will also consider and carry out new forms of support.

Disaster Volunteer Information in Ishikawa, Toyama and Fukui

Always check the latest official information before traveling to a disaster area. Even when a disaster volunteer center has opened, recruitment may not have started or may be temporarily suspended. Some centers accept only residents of the municipality or prefecture. Check whether advance registration is required, the activity dates, what to bring, and volunteer insurance requirements. Do not arrive without a reservation.

Where to check disaster volunteer centers

Opening status for each municipality is listed as official notices under Search by municipality. The prefecture-level contacts are below.

Ishikawa Council of Social Welfare Council of social welfare
Toyama Council of Social Welfare Council of social welfare
Fukui Council of Social Welfare Council of social welfare

Some centers accept only residents of the municipality or prefecture. Check registration, activity days, what to bring and insurance conditions, and do not travel to a site without booking. Please avoid contacting affected municipalities or councils individually.

Initial Tasks

Check that the URLs on the approved list open correctly
Report incorrect links between municipalities and official websites
Add one row of official municipal notices: add “slug, kind (risai/waste/disinfect/water/housing/vc/support/hub), title, URL, status, date checked” to data/supports.csv (if you do not use git, write the same in a GitHub issue). Reports from the public arrive through the report form on municipality pages. Check the municipality list for those with few dedicated pages so far

Handling “this is wrong or outdated” reports from readers

Every page has a “Report” link at the bottom, and each municipal official link has a small “Report” next to it. Reports arrive in the “訂正” (corrections) sheet of the operations spreadsheet (Google Form responses); until the form is configured they arrive as GitHub issues. Report contents are not published.

Check the corrections sheet or the issue and mark it “checking”. If it concerns a municipal official link, set status to checking in data/supports.csv (the site shows a “Being verified” badge)
Verify against official pages only (municipality, prefecture, national government)
Fix supports.csv (URL, title, status, date checked) or the page. Mirror any Japanese page change to the English page and run python scripts/check_bilingual.py
Mark it “resolved” (or “no action” with a reason). Reply briefly if a contact was given
Review open reports once a week

If an emergency (rescue, injury) arrives through the form, direct the person to 119/110 and the municipality. This site does not handle emergencies.
