Evacuation Centres



450,000 people have been forced to take shelters in 2,500 places across Tohoku and Kanto.

This video informs how many people are taking shelters in each Evacuation Centers.






Many of them have lost their loved ones, and have no home to return to.

Many of them are also desperate to find out the whereabouts of their families and friends.

Many of them have no idea how and when they can restart their normal lives.





For today and tomorrow, many of them do not have the basic necessities such as water, electricity, and gas.

What they need:

  • Water - to drink and to wash. 
  • Food - sharing very very limited food, whatever is available. 
  • Blankets and heating oil - it is going to be freezing cold in the affected area. Snow is expected from tonight. 
  • Towels, Toilets, and basics sanitary goods. 
  • Medicine. 
  • Milk, disposable diapers, and baby food for babies and very young children.




Many people are working hard to re-establish the delivery network to the affected area, but will still take time.

They would have to spend many more cold and painful nights in the evacuation centres.

In order to get them back into a warm, comfortable bed again as soon as possible, please donate to RedCross in your country.
