Local governments and volunteers help elderly people with snow removal, but many helpers are aging as well. To address this, some organizations in Japan implement inclusive disaster preparation projects. For example, the NPO Japan Heart started a stockpiling initiative in Okayama to help vulnerable groups like children and elderly residents feel less stressed during snowy weather. Their goal is to protect all people, regardless of age or ability level, on issues like heavy snowfall that can endanger older or disabled individuals.
