About “Disaster Victim Certificates” (risai shomeisho) for people who experienced damage from an earthquake
Those who had their house damaged due to the earthquake on February 13, 2021 (Sat) can apply for a Disaster Victim Certificate.
The Disaster Victim Certificate is required when a disaster victim applies for aid.
(ex.: lower fees when disposing of garbage from the disaster)
If there was any damage, take a picture showing what was damaged.
