【Interview Report】
On August 31st, we interviewed Mr. Fumio Hatakeyama, who was the secretary of Heisei-no-mori evacuation center and later worked as the chairman of Minamisanriku Heisei-no-mori Temporary Housing Association. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we could not visit him, but we interviewed online. He said that he was cheered by warm connection of neighbours and volunteers, but under the pandemic, it is difficult for us to stay connected with others and some people feel lonely. Moreover, he emphasized that it is important to think that a disaster occures whenever we do not think it does, and always ready for saving our and our families' lives.

On October 17th, we heard what happend at Okawa elementary school where many children including his daughter lost their lives in the Great East Japan Earthquake at KIP October Forum.
We learned that those who live after the earthquake should never forget the memory and we have to apply the lessons in the experience.Also, he said we could not estimate when a disaster occured, so that we have to prepare for it and appreciate family and friends for being with us.
