KANAZAWA — Seven people have died, two have been declared missing and 12 have been injured as search and rescue operations continued Monday in Ishikawa Prefecture’s Noto area following record-breaking rain.
Roads were cut off, preventing access to 56 communities. The rain has also affected temporary housing sites built for people affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, with 6 confirmed to be inundated, raising concerns about reconstruction efforts after the Jan. 1 quake, according to an announcement by the prefecture at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
