A couple of days ago, the skies became more cloudy than usual. Karakura is known to be an area with frequent rainfall almost every day, so it was normal for a couple of hours until it seemed to have lasted longer than expected.
The wind began to blow hard and the drizzle began. It wasn't until a broadcast transmitted by the News Station about leaving their homes that people began to show some concern. After a couple of hours the rain came down faster, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Another broadcasting was transmitted, instructing citizens to evacuate to a nearby workers building in case of emergency.It is not surprising that many people have evacuated to these areas, as they are considered safer. However, some were unlucky and had to be evacuated to other areas; the monastery was flooded due to the continuous flow of the waterfall inside while workers did their best to take care of the people. Meanwhile, KPD and the Government had to evacuate to the News station due to problems in the area.
Those injured were treated by specialists, food and water were provided for those refugees and basic safety measures were taken.
The storm was over after a couple of hours, and it seemed safe to go out. The police took care of this part, checking the area to confirm. After it was confirmed that it was safe to leave, the storm seemed to have caused some damage around the city: downed lamps, branches on the ground, broken glass, sinkholes, and others.
The government gave a speech at the side of the plaza, thanking the factions for their contribution and help. The Deputy-Mayor, Yuma DeLuca, agreed to an exclusive interview about the events:
"Alright, so, damages did happen around the town even if these weren't so significative, is the government going to take care of them?"
Yuma offered a small nod "Yes, For any governmental building, the Government will be arranging contractors to come out and fix all damanges. Me and a group of workers went around eairler to see the damanges first hand of what the storm called." "Do you think the workers in town aka, reporters, kpd, town hall andemergency services acted correctly? Do you think something
could have gone better?"
"Of course, the workers of the town excuited it effectively and effeciently. We did what we could in the time and sitautions we were in. With limited timed time and the storm ripping apart buildings, we did the best we could as a community." "Do you consider the town could use an emergency backup in case this type of storm happens again?" "Having a backup wouldn't be the worst thing to have. It could help us in case of situations like this, but we also have to remind people and other Karakura Companies that we shouldn't close our doors on people during a stressful situation or turn people away." "Are the jobs good to continue their labour? Do you think the children are able to return to their daily routines?" "Yes, the buildings that were majorly effected are only in isolated areas and are able to get patched up quickly. Students and Adults like are able to continue on with their day as normal, we do ask the public to assist us in picking up fallen branches or pick up trash from the streets in the effort on cleaning up the city after the storm." "Good goood... Finally, is there some recommendations for the people for a similar situation?" "Those who are in similiar situations. Make sure to locate a safe and dry location of the building you are in, mainly towards the center of the structure and away from any open hallways and windows. In the act you are unable to find shelter, hunker down in an area out of the rain and away from anything metal. If you are injured, please seek medical assistance right away once all is safe or call your local Emergency Hotline, which in Japan is 110."
We hope that these recommendations will be taken into account for future disasters such as this one, so that workers will take this situation into account and be prepared in case an emergency evacuation is needed.
The News Station encourages the use of safety measures in this type of situation, stay away from windows.
