One month after a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Japan's Noto peninsula on New Year's Day, survivors and businesses continue to face challenges in rebuilding their lives and livelihoods. The quake has had a significant impact on the local dining industry in Ishikawa, which was just recovering from a COVID-19 slump. Fish and vegetable auctions in Nanao have resumed after being shut down for a month due to the earthquake. Over 30% of shelters failed to open immediately after the quake, leading to overcrowding. As of now, 14% of the quake victims have died due to extreme cold, and 14,000 survivors are still evacuating. Kenji Kusunoki, who lost his izakaya, and Yoshimi Tomita, who was trapped under her collapsed house and subsequently slept in her car with her cats, are among those struggling to rebuild. Eighteen families are preparing to move into temporary housing units, and schools in Ishikawa Prefecture have been transformed into evacuation centers for children. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced a financial aid package for residents, and there is a need for mental health care for those affected by prolonged evacuation. Meanwhile, 40,000 people still lack access to water, and the earthquake has highlighted the challenge of caring for the elderly who cannot move to evacuation centers. Emergency fire response teams took two days to arrive in hard-hit areas, and the last of 14 schools that were forced to close has welcomed students back.
