Following the devastation caused by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, efforts are underway to recover and rebuild the affected areas. The earthquake, which occurred on January 1, caused extensive damage to civil engineering, agriculture, and other sectors, with damages estimated at ¥1 trillion. In response, many public high schools in Ishikawa Prefecture held graduation ceremonies, signaling a step towards normalcy. The Japanese government has set the budget for fiscal 2024 at ¥112.57 trillion, which includes allocations for earthquake reconstruction and recovery efforts. This comes amidst political challenges, as opposition lawmakers submitted a no-confidence motion, accusing the governing party of rushing the budget bill without adequate debate due to a scandal over its fundraising practices. Additionally, the government and local authorities are reviewing their disaster preparedness plans in light of the earthquake's lessons. Meanwhile, Chiba Prefecture has experienced a series of 20 earthquakes up to Shindo 4, with warnings of more to come, prompting residents to prepare for potential larger quakes.
