Information Regarding the Akita Prefectural Multilingual Disaster Support Center
The Akita Prefectural Multilingual Disaster Support Center is a concept for a comprehensive establishment that provides reports in multiple languages and support for foreign nationals when a large-scale disaster occurs within the prefecture.
If a Disaster Response Base is established (such as when a degree 6 or above shindo seismic intensity earthquake occurs), a base will be established with cooperation from the prefecture at the AIA (Atorion Building 1st Floor) in order to gather information about damage and injury situations, to check if there are foreign nationals that are victims of the disaster or who are evacuating, as well as to perform other functions. However, if the AIA is affected by the disaster, the base will be established at a different location.
In the event an Akita Prefectural Multilingual Disaster Support Center is established, disaster information will be posted as needed on this site and on the AIA Facebook page.
