Governor Seitaro Hattori of Fukuoka Prefecture has announced that relevant departments will meet to discuss an evacuation plan for residents of the Sakishima Islands in Okinawa, considering a potential Taiwan contingency. This follows the central government’s request at a recent Kyushu governors’ meeting to create initial evacuation plans for Okinawa residents. The plan will involve collaboration with municipalities and public transportation. Governor Hattori aims to enhance the plan’s effectiveness, seeking national support for transport and accommodation logistics. Meanwhile, the Fukuoka Board of Education plans to establish a “Diverse Learning School” at Ogori High School next year, offering a 40-student course tailored for students with various interests and social skills training.
