On Saturday 12 of March, we were hit earthquake in north of Nagano prefecture, Sakae-mura Village,following that Northeast Tsunami has happened. We were really scared with frequent aftershock.

A lot of people took refuge to the community center .

It wasn't taken big focus on about that on Media.

Because Tsunami was more serious than in our prefecture's one.

The kind of the damages were same, but the scale was small.

About 20people killed and there were no water, food.

People were suffering from feel cold , hungry ,and inconvenient in the small space.

Prefectural Government and voluntees are taking care of them.

So the situation is getting better.

But many people are living in contemporary housing.

And some people still don't have their job.

The village has heavy snow every year, so I hope the village has been recovered as soon as possible.
