On August 24, the Fukuoka City official Line account, which distributes news to local residents, exceeded one million friends. The city uses the account to share information about disaster prevention activities, garbage disposal, and child-care services. Those who add Fukuoka City as a friend on Line before November 20 will be able to download free original stamps to their smartphone. The city plans to continue using social media as a means of keeping locals up to date with any new developments. Source: Fukuoka City, 8/24/2018
