8) Japan Red Cross (English)
The Japan Red Cross has a chapter in each prefecture and the affected chapters distributed 6,540 blankets, 219 sleeping kits, and 6,756 emergency kits to 30,250 people in 3,238 evacuation centers. 18 JRCS National Medical Relief Teams have been deployed to the affected prefectures, including Hyogo, Hiroshima, Okayama, Yamaguchi, and Tokushima. The relief teams are visiting the evacuation centers to assess the needs and provide medical services. Considering that it is summer in Japan, it is expected the temperature will increase in the affected regions and pose a risk of heatstroke and sanitation challenges
