Support information for the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake, summarized on one page (unofficial)
To those affected by the earthquake in Kumamoto, and their families and acquaintances.
I have created a page that summarizes support information in one place. You can use it just by opening it on your smartphone. No registration or app installation is required.
https://kumamoto-shien-navi-8rq.pages.dev/
What is included
Water supply points, baths, and laundry (Self-Defense Forces bathing support, bathing facilities currently in operation)
Status of disaster victim certificate applications (Please take photos before cleaning up. It will make subsequent procedures easier)
Special financial measures. You can withdraw deposits even without a passbook. You can receive medical care even without an insurance card. Even without a prescription, you can consult a pharmacy if you have a medication notebook or medicine bag
Information for those living in cars or sheltering at home (You can receive support even if you are not at an evacuation center)
24-hour mental health support hotlines, consultations in 22 languages for foreign residents, and pet consultations
Weather, warnings, and earthquake history (automatically retrieved from Japan Meteorological Agency data)
Why it is reliable
This is an unofficial, personally operated page. Precisely because of that, I have drawn a line to ensure it is trustworthy.
All phone numbers and URLs listed have been cross-checked against official pages
The date each item was last verified is clearly stated. Outdated information is automatically flagged with a warning
**I do not list bank account numbers for donations.** This is to prevent fraud where fake sites are copied and only the account number is swapped. Please be sure to check account numbers on the prefecture's official page for donations
I will update this daily. If you find any errors, please let me know via the contact information at the bottom of the page
A request
In disaster-stricken areas, information is harder to reach those living in cars or sheltering at home. If you have acquaintances in Kumamoto, please send them the URL of this page as is. That is the best way to support them.
Please always follow official announcements from the Japan Meteorological Agency and local governments regarding evacuation and safety decisions. If your life is in danger, call 119 or 110.
