This is a notice from the Crisis Management and Disaster Prevention Division（危機管理防災課）and the Welfare Division（福祉課）of Kosa Town Office（甲佐町役場）.

Currently, cases are occurring in the town where traders say things like "the roof tiles are damaged by the Kumamoto earthquake" or "we will put up a blue sheet" and demand unfair high payments.

Please be very careful not to sign a contract on the spot with traders who visit without warning, or to let them climb on your roof.

If you have any concerns or receive a suspicious visit, please contact the police.

Notice from Kosa Town（甲佐町） Welfare Division.

As shelter life continues, we tell you about "hotel and inn shelter" to reduce the burden on your mind and body, and help you stay safe and calm.

Who can use this:

Disaster victims who want to move to a hotel or inn.

Where you will stay:

Hotels and inns secured by the national government and Kumamoto Prefecture. (Depending on the situation, we may not be able to meet your wishes — for example, you may need to go to another prefecture.)

As a rule, the public sector pays the accommodation cost. You pay for meals, accommodation tax, and hot spring tax.

Except when the hotel arranges transport, you must get your own way to reach the hotel. If you have difficulty arranging your own transport, write about it in the "special notes" space on the application form.

You can stay until the town's shelter closes, or for as long as the hotel can take you (depending on the situation, you may move to a different hotel — please understand this in advance).

How to apply:

Understand and agree with the information in this notice. Then fill in the required information in the application form at the URL below and apply.

https://www.town.kosa.lg.jp/pub/253518_filelib_1bfa3a73e1e4228c9b2e63c11b9f87a1.jpg

Important notes (check these before you use the service):

1: The hotel does not promise the normal service of a hotel. For example, you may need to change your own sheets after a certain time, and you will usually buy your own food.

2: You pay for transport costs around the hotel where you stay.

3: When you move to a hotel or inn shelter, bring a mobile phone, radio, or other equipment that lets you get information. Also check the town website regularly for support information.

4: If your application has false information or is found to be unsuitable in any other way, we may ask you to repay all costs and take other necessary steps.

The Welfare Division at Kosa Town Office（甲佐町役場） is giving you information about temporary rental housing for the Reiwa 8 Kumamoto earthquake.

Because of the Reiwa 8 Kumamoto earthquake, Kumamoto Prefecture is running a project to provide temporary rental housing. Private rental homes are borrowed and given to people whose homes were badly damaged.

You can move in if your home was half-destroyed or worse, and you need to demolish it, or if you use the emergency repair program for your home and it is half-destroyed or worse and repairs are expected to take more than one month.

There is a limit on rent. First, please visit the consultation counter at the town office.
