Fukuoka City is collecting donations for items for use by people in torrential rain-hit areas. A drive-through donation venue is set up at Tsukiguma Shuzo-ko (near Fukuoka Airport) to gather five items(*); disposable masks, towels, wet towels/sanitizing wipes, body wipes, and nutritional jelly drinks. Non-drivers can also bring them to the City Hall. Contributed items will be sent to cities of Omuta, Kurume, and other disaster-hit areas in Kyushu. (*Un-opened items only. Other things are not accepted.)

In the meantime, Fukuoka City Mayor, Soichiro Takashima, urges people not to rush to rain-hit regions to engage in volunteer activities. As the potential for the spread of novel coronavirus remains an issue, local governments are adopting extra-cautious measures, including nonacceptance of disaster volunteers from other prefectures.
