On September 1, Civic Force's partner organization, A-PAD Japan distributed 350 free taxi vouchers in Omachi Town which suffered severe flood damage.
There vouchers will be used by people whose cars were damaged during the disaster. They can use the vouchers to go to a hospital or run errands. Each voucher is limited to 1,000 yen per ride and one person can receive three vouchers in total. On the first day of the distribution, A-PAD Japan distributed the vouchers at three locations - the Omachi community center, the Omachi welfare center, and Hijiri academy martial arts gym. There, the A-PAD Japan staff put up posters about the ride service as well. The vouchers are valid until September 30.
This operation is supported by Omachi Tourism Taxi. The company's CEO, Mr. Yamaguchi, said "Although our office became flooded and we are still in the middle of recovery, we would like to hep the people affected by the disaster." Mr. Miyazaki from the general affairs division at the Omachi municipality expressed his gratitude to A-PAD Japan, "We are very grateful for your assistance. Thank you very much."
