Four months after the Noto Peninsula earthquake, more than half of the temporary housing units for survivors have been completed. Progress has also been made in restoring running water and roads in the peninsula area of ​​Ishikawa Prefecture, which was devastated by the quake.

All necessary temporary housing units are expected to be completed by this summer. As four months have passed since the January 1 earthquake occurred on Wednesday, people in the affected areas are moving into the reconstruction phase aimed at restoring normal daily life.

Up to 110,000 households in Ishikawa Prefecture were without running water after the quake, but services have been restored by the day to a growing area. As of Tuesday, running water had not been restored to 3,780 families.

Work is also underway to reopen roads on the Noto-Satoyama Kaido Expressway, which runs into the northern part of the prefecture, and on prefectural roads along the coast of the peninsula.

The number of evacuees peaked at 34,173, but has since fallen to 4,606, including people living in accommodation facilities after moving from temporary evacuation sites.

Of the 6,421 urgently needed temporary housing units, more than half have been completed. Local authorities said all those who wish to move into temporary facilities will likely be able to do so by the end of August.

The death toll from the disaster reached 245 people. Of this number, 15 people are suspected to have died from causes indirectly related to the disaster.

National Highway 249, the main road on the Noto Peninsula, was cut off by the landslide caused by the earthquake. Restoration work has been completed on a section along the coast in Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture, and the road was scheduled to open at noon on Thursday, with a diversion created by tapping into the seabed uplifted by the quake.
