決壊から１年、住民ら黙とう　千曲川の浸水被害地区で―長野

　台風１９号による千曲川の堤防決壊から１年を迎えた１３日、大規模な浸水被害を受けた長野市豊野地区で、地元住民らによる「１０．１３を伝えていく集い」が開かれた。豊野地区住民自治協議会などが主催し、被災した地元住民ら約９０人が参加。参列者全員で犠牲者に１分間の黙とうをささげた。
　参列者を前に、同協議会の堀田実会長（７０）は「被災された方々にとってどれほど大変な１年だったかと思う。どうか、この日を節目に元気を出してもらいたい」とあいさつ。続いて加藤久雄長野市長は「この災害を決して忘れることなく、皆さまへの支援に全力を尽くしたい」と述べた。
　昨年１０月１３日、台風１９号の影響で千曲川の堤防が決壊。長野市では約４１００世帯の住居が浸水被害に遭い、関連死８人を含め１０人が亡くなった。今もなお、市内では１４００人以上が仮設住宅などで生活している。（2020/10/13-11:19）

Residents of the central Japan city of Nagano held a memorial service Tuesday for the victims of the extensive flooding triggered by a typhoon-caused breach of a levee of the Chikuma River a year ago.
   About 90 people, including those who survived the disaster, observed a minute of silence at the ceremony, organized by an association of residents in the city's Toyono district and others.
   On Oct. 13 last year, heavy rain from powerful Typhoon Hagibis led a levee of the river to break, and the floodwater inundated about 4,100 houses in the city. The death toll in the city totaled 10, including eight who died from indirect causes related to the disaster. More than 1,400 people in the city are still living in temporary housing.
   "It must've been a tough year for people affected by the disaster, and I want them to get on with life from this day," Minoru Hotta, the 70-year-old leader of the Toyono district association, said in a speech at the ceremony.
   Nagano Mayor Hisao Kato pledged to "make all-out efforts" to support afflicted locals while saying, "We must never forget the disaster."
