Towns in Kumamoto Prefecture on Sunday marked one year since floods killed 65 people and destroyed nearly 6,000 homes. Two people are still missing.
On Sunday morning, Kumamoto Gov Ikuo Kabashima placed flowers during a memorial service in Kuma town where the Kuma River overflowed its banks on July 4 last year, Fuji TV reported. Officials and local residents observed a moment of silence.
Fourteen of the dead were elderly residents of the Senjuen nursing home in Kuma. Communities along the Kuma River, which passes through Hitoyoshi, were hardest hit by the floodwaters. About 200,000 people had to evacuate to shelters. Twenty residents of Hitoyoshi lost their lives in the floods.

KUMAMOTO To justify getting COVID-19 shots ahead of the elderly or medical personnel, Kumamoto officials here have made the practice permissible for local government heads and others if there are cancellations of appointments.
The Kumamoto prefectural government, its mayors’ association and other groups made the guidelines on May 19 to allow municipal heads and others to receive vaccine shots in the event of cancellations.
It marks the first time in Japan that such a guideline on vaccinations has been created, according to a prefectural official.
