Two years after the January 1, 2024, Noto Peninsula Earthquake, which caused 698 deaths across three prefectures, about 18,000 people remain in temporary housing in Ishikawa Prefecture. While infrastructure restoration progresses, challenges like population outflow and aging hinder full recovery. In Wajima, production of traditional lacquerware continues in trailer houses.
Following the February 2024 fires in the Valparaíso Region, the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism has driven a reconstruction plan with tailored solutions for each affected commune. Progress stands at 45% in housing works, with 426 homes delivered and over 1,200 under construction. The effort involves legislative changes to expand reach and ongoing dialogue with communities.

Two years after a powerful earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, a facility combining a cafeteria and supermarket is providing essential support to residents in Wajima. Sumika Shibata, a 60-year-old former school lunch cook impacted by the January 1, 2024, disaster, led the establishment of Toge Marche in the city's Toge district in late November.
Nearly 900 students from Valencian towns hit by the DANA floods gathered in Aldaia to highlight youth's role in recovery. The Fundación Princesa de Girona hosted the CongresFest x Valencia event, focusing on education, entrepreneurship, and well-being. Local authorities praised the initiative as a beam of hope.

Applications to demolish homes damaged by last year's earthquake and heavy rain on Japan's Noto Peninsula outnumber repair applications by about two to one, sources said on Thursday. Many residents opted for publicly funded demolition, which is cheaper than self-funded repairs. Around 22,500 homes were fully or partially destroyed in the northern part of Ishikawa Prefecture.
