It is with deep sadness that the world watches Japan in the wake of being battered by two major typhoons since September. While the country was still reeling from the damages inflicted by the powerful winds of Typhoon Faxai, certain areas of Japan were hit again by the torrential rains and heavy gusts of Super Typhoon Hagibis.
Mass flooding and landslides continue to affect the people of Japan. Reports (as of October 25th) reveal that more than 80 have been confirmed dead with some still missing and survivors remain unable to return to their homes.
Having suffered through devastating weather, Houston knows all too well that it will take a very long time for communities to rebuild and recover. From the victims to the volunteers and members of relief organizations to all levels of government officials, all have suffered because of these terrible storms.
However, disaster recovery is not a path that is walked alone.
In support of relief efforts, the Japan Society in New York will be collecting donations through the 2019 TYPHOON HAGIBIS RELIEF FUND. See link below.
All monies contributed to the campaign will be utilized to financially support organizations assisting those impacted by Typhoon Hagibis. With the exception of 3% to cover credit card donations, one hundred percent of the tax-deductible contributions will support relief and recovery work in places affected by the flooding.
