In Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, which was hit by record-breaking heavy rain in July, volunteers are continuing their recovery efforts. One month after the heavy rains, the scars of the disaster still remain here and there, such as efforts to remove the earth and sand that flowed into the premises of private homes. On the 6th, employees of the Kyushu Electric Power Group visited the suburbs of Tanushimaru-cho, Kurume City, where the damage was severe, and carried out desperate support activities in the scorching heat.
Volunteers from Kyushu Electric Power carry out bags of earth and sand in the disaster-stricken city of Kurume.

Participants were divided into groups of about 10 people and rushed to local residents who needed volunteers.
