Accepting Relief Items for Those Affected by the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami
Relief items are currently being collected for victims of the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami from companies, groups, and individuals at the following designated collection sites in municipalities throughout Miyazaki Prefecture.
The municipal and prefectural governments, Japanese self-defense forces, and Miyazaki Trucking Association will work together in shipping donated relief goods to the devastated areas.
1) Types of relief goods being accepted
- In order to avoid any confusion in regards to the collection, storage, and dispatch of relief goods in both Miyazaki and receiving areas (areas damaged by the earthquake or tsunami), only items that are noted on the list and that meet all of the requirements explained in each column will be accepted.
- Please be aware that items brought to a receiving facility that do not meet the requirements noted on the list will not be accepted, and you will be required to take them home.
