A big difference has gone out to initial correspondence of each town and village over the consumers correspondence by the earthquake directly above its epicenter that attacked the Niigata Prefecture midland on October 23.
In the prefecture central part town and village from Niigata Prefecture "Kaetsu" to "Joetsu", there is a lot of damage by the "Ore ore" ("It's me") frauds recently, and senior citizen's ratio is a high region.
Cable that asks all houses from the public office for the consumers damage prevention is constructed in a certain village.
However, cable did not function enough on that day of the 23rd when the earthquake occurred.
There was a limit also in the number of staff who examined the damage situation because the earthquake had hit Niigata Prefecture directly on holiday evening.
