 Japan resolves major search operation due to fatal typhoon

TOKYO, Japan- After a Typhoon Hagibis brought widespread flooding and landslides,
destroying buildings and leaving dozens dead, a major search and rescue operation is underway in
Japan as reported on October 14.

Chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said in a press conference Monday that at least 49 people
were killed, with 200 injured and at least 14 people still missing, the country's public broadcaster
NHK reported Monday. More than 110,000 personnel are involved in search and rescue operations, including
13,000 police, 66,000 fire department staff and 31,000 self-defense force staff.

More than 230, 000 people were evacuated ahead of the storm, and emergency orders were issued for
many cities around the greater Tokyo area. As of Monday, more than 84,000 households in Tokyo, northern
Japan and mountainous areas in the center of the country were still without power, according to electricity
companies.
"We apologize from the bottom of our heart," Hirofumi Shimizu, the deputy chief of Tokyo Fire
Department, said in a press conference on Sunday. "We will try our best not to have this happen again and to
recover trust to us."
The storm, which came as Japan hosts the Rugby World Cup for the first time -- made landfall on
Saturday evening local time on the Izu Peninsula, southwest of Tokyo, leaving a trail of destruction in its
wake.

 Landbank ATM extends service in Inopacan

INOPACAN Public Information Office facebook page posted, as the school year 2019-2020
opens, the availability for all Inopacan card holders that Landbak Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
has been installed and is now operating at the New Municipal Hall.

Comments were posted immediately through the use of the same social media and such information
spread to the citizens and neighboring towns.

“We thought it was not true,” remarked Mrs.Yolanda O. Kudera, a parent of Inopacan National High
School learner and an elementary teacher of Inopacan District.
But she added, “It was a relief in our part after knowing the very good news that we don’t have to
travel just to withdraw our salaries”.

Government officials and mostly Inopacan teachers used to complain because of the No-ATM facility
in town to cater their need in times of withdrawing their salaries. They tend to go to some other places for salary
withdrawal which caused hassle due to the distance and more expenditure intended for fares.

People of this town are encouraged to give suggestions to the posted on the same site for the betterment
of the services.
