Production of Miyagi disaster support site, and information transmission
Activity grant
- Project Description
What is needed for the reconstruction of the disaster area in Miyagi is the transmission of localised information. We pick up comments, such as "We have revived the shops in the affected area, but cannot disseminate that information," or, "We cannot transmit throughout Japan information about the goods the affected areas really need," and at the present stage, there is no media that takes the standpoint of those affected and transmits finer information. For that reason, we launched the Affected Area Support Site, and in addition to collecting and supporting the transmission of information leading to reconstruction, also transmit information that serves as Useful Reconstruction Ideas, while also gaining the cooperation of universities.
